| NET© Notes |
1 tn Or “Leah conceived” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35). 2 sn The name Reuben (רְאוּבֵן, rÿ’uven) means “look, a son.” 3 tn Heb “looked on my affliction.” sn Leah’s explanation of the name Reuben reflects a popular etymology, not an exact one. The name means literally “look, a son.” Playing on the Hebrew verb “look,” she observes that the Lord has “looked” with pity on her oppressed condition. See further S. R. Driver, Genesis, 273. |
