וְאִתְעַבְּרַת תּוּב וִילֵידַת בַּר וְאַמְרַת הָדָא זִמְנָא יִתְחַבֵּר עִמִי בַּעֲלִי אֲרוּם יְלֵדִית לֵיהּ תְּלָתָא בְּנִין וְהֵיכְדֵין עֲתִידִין בְּנוֹי לְמֶהֱוֵיהוֹן מִתְחַבְּרִין לְשַׁמָשָׁא קֳדָם יְיָ בְּגִין כֵּן קָרָא שְׁמֵיהּ לֵוִי

**The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862:**
And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said, This time will my husband be united to me, because I have borne him three sons; and thus will it be that my children shall be united to serve before the Lord: therefore she called his name Levi.

וְאִתְעַבָּרַת תּוּב וִילֵידַת בַּר וַאֲמָרַת הָדָא זִמְנָא אוֹדֵי קֳדָם יְיָ דְמִן בְּרִי דֵין עָתִיד לְמֵיפַּק מַלְכִין וּמִינֵיהּ יִפּוֹק דָוִד מַלְכָּא דְעָתִיד לְאוֹדוּיֵי קֳדָם יְיָ בְּגִין כֵּן קְרָת שְׁמֵיהּ יְהוּדָה וְקָמַת מִלְמֵילַד

**The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862:**
And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said, This time will I give praise before the Lord; for from this my son kings shall come forth, and from him shall spring David the king, who shall offer praise before the Lord; therefore she called his name Jehudah. And she ceased to bear.
