Gênesis 30:20-21 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 30:14-24

Here is, I. Leah fruitful again, after she had, for some time, left off bearing. Jacob, it should seem, associated more with Rachel than with Leah. The law of Moses supposes it a common case that, if a man had two wives, one would be beloved and the other hated, Deut. 21:15. But at length Rachel's strong passions betrayed her into a bargain with Leah that Jacob should return to her apartment. Reuben, a little lad, five or six years old, playing in the field, found mandrakes, dudaim. It is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 30:20

And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry ,.... Having so many children; for though her husband could give her nothing at marriage, and her father gave her no more than one handmaid, yet God had abundantly made it up to her, in giving her so many sons: these are the heritage of the Lord, Psalm 127:3 , now will my husband dwell with me ; constantly; and not come to her tent now and then only, as he had used to do: because I have borne him six sons ; this she thought... read more

And afterwards she bare a daughter ,.... Which some writers, as Aben Ezra observes, say, was at the same birth with Zebulun, a twin with him; but being said to be afterwards shows the contrary: and called her name Dinah ; which signifies "judgment": perhaps she may have some reference to the first son of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, whom she called Dan, a name of the same signification; intimating as if it was a clear case that judgment went on her side; and that by the number of children... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 30:20

Now will my husband dwell with me - יזבלני yizbeleni ; and she called his name Zebulun, זבל a dwelling or cohabitation, as she now expected that Jacob would dwell with her, as he had before dwelt with Rachel. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 30:21

And called her name Dinah - דינה dinah , judgment. As Rachel had called her son by Bilhah Dan, Genesis 30:6 , so Leah calls her daughter Dinah, God having judged and determined for her, as well as for her sister in the preceding instance. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 30:21

Verse 21 21.And afterward she bare a daughter. It is not known whether Jacob had any other daughter; for it is not uncommon in Scripture, when genealogies are recorded, to omit the women, since they do not bear their own name, but lie concealed under the shadow of their husbands. Meanwhile, if anything worthy of commemoration occurs to any women, especial mention is then made of them. This was the case with Dinah, on account of the violence done to her; of which more will be said hereafter. But... read more

The story of the mandrakes. I. A YOUNG CHILD 'S INNOCENCE . "Reuben found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother." Nature, with its beautiful sights and harmonious sounds, possesses a wonderful fascination for the infant mind. In proportion as man sinks beneath the power of sin does he fall out of sympathy with God's fair world. Strong and tender is the bond of love which unites a child to its mother. The true depositary for a child's treasures is the mother's lap,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 30:19-20

And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. And Leah said, God (Elohim; vide supra ) hath endued me with a good dowry. Δεδώρηται μοι δῶρον καλον ( LXX .), dotavit me dote bona (Vulgate), hath presented me with a goodly present. The word זָבַד is a ἄπαξ λεγόμενον. Now will my husband dwell with me. זָבַל , also a ἅπαξ λεγ; signifies to be or make round (Gesenius), to limit round or encompass (Furst); hence, according to both, to cohabit or dwell... read more

And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah —i.e. Judgment. Dinah (the female Dan) may not have been Jacob's only daughter ( vide Genesis 37:35 ; Genesis 46:7 ). Her name is here recorded probably because of the incident in her history afterwards related ( Genesis 34:1 ). read more
