  2. Also see:

    Gen. 41:51"...God has made me forget[in a destructive sense],all my sufferings and all my father's family"

    Gen. 41:50 "Before the years of famine came, Joseph had two sons by Asenath [name meaning 'peril, misfortune'].v.52 "He also said, God has given me children in the land of my trouble"

    [Amplified= "And the second he called Ephraim[to be fruitful], for[he said], God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."

    Philippians 3:13-16, 1:29
    Gen. 29:31-35[...when the Lord saw Leah..He made her able to bear children...[4 sons, each named in faith...]

  3. Gen. 41:51 is referencing the birth of Manasseh, meaning 'forgetfulness'

  4. Leahs' sons names all speak of aspects of our relationship with our Father in heaven:

    Reuben, 'see',...'The Lord has seen my affliction'

    Simeon, 'hear'...'The Lord heard I am despised'

    Levi, 'intimacy, companionship'

    Judah, 'Praise' always results when we see God's hand on our lives, and we and hear His voice speaking mercy, grace and love--His precious companionship.
