Footnotes

1

Reuben means “Behold a Son.” This was important because of the other things it brought—Joy and Respect. It also sounds like the Hebrew word for “misery.” In Leah’s case, at the birth of her first born, Reuben, joy and respect replaced the misery she had previously experienced.

2

Naphtali means “struggle.” Obviously, the implication is those that struggle for a just cause.
