Genesis 30:20

Gen 30:20 And Leah said, God hath endued me [with] a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.

Ver. 20. God hath endued me with a good dowry. ] That is, as it proves, though children are dulcis acerbitas , saith one; certain cares, but uncertain comforts, saith another; a yet all men desire them: how much more should we covet grace, and those things that accompany salvation! These having gotten, we may safely and surely say, "God hath endued me with a good dowry."
