³² So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name ^[a]Reuben; for she said, “The Lord has surely ^(A)looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”

^42 (A)Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and ^(B)the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. ^(C)God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and ^(D)rebuked you last night.”

²⁴ So God ^(A)heard their groaning, and God ^(B)remembered His ^(C)covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

⁷ And the Lord said: ^(A)“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry ^(B)because of their taskmasters, ^(C)for I know their ^[a]sorrows.

⁹ Now therefore, behold, ^(A)the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the ^(B)oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
