“These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan–aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.”
These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, besides his daughter Dinah. These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all. Leah's thirty-three include her sons and their children and Dinah. The application: the matriarch who was not loved is the mother of the largest contingent going to Egypt. The unloved Leah has the largest family.
