TSK · Genesis 29:32

Then the LORD’s angel said to her,“You are now pregnant and are about to give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your painful groans.

While Israel was living in that land, Reuben went to bed with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard about it.Jacob had twelve sons:

When Reuben heard this, he rescued Joseph from their hands, saying,“Let’s not take his life!”

Reuben said to them,“Didn’t I say to you,‘Don’t sin against the boy,’ but you wouldn’t listen? So now we must pay for shedding his blood!”

These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt– Jacob and his sons: Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob.

The LORD said,“I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

So we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors, and he heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression.

She made a vow saying,“O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, if you would truly look on the suffering of your servant, and would keep me in mind and not neglect your servant, and give your servant a male child, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life. His hair will never be cut.”

Perhaps the LORD will notice my affliction and this day grant me good in place of his curse.”

See my pain and suffering! Forgive all my sins!

Next to the border of Ephraim from the east side to the west side, Reuben will have one portion.
