Genesis 30:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 30:18

16 When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” And he lay with her that night.

17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18 Leah said, “God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband.” So she called his name¹ Issachar.

19 Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.

20 And Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she called his name¹ Zebulun.

21 Afterward she bore a ^adaughter, and called her name Dinah.

22 Then God ^aremembered Rachel, and God listened to her and ^bopened her womb.

23 And she conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away ^amy reproach.”
