Genesis 30:21

21 post quem peperit filiam nomine Dinam

Genesis 30:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:21

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 she had, it was plain God had determined in her favour.

Genesis 30:21 In-Context

19 rursum Lia concipiens peperit sextum filium
20 et ait ditavit me Deus dote bona etiam hac vice mecum erit maritus meus eo quod genuerim ei sex filios et idcirco appellavit nomen eius Zabulon
21 post quem peperit filiam nomine Dinam
22 recordatus quoque Dominus Rahelis exaudivit eam et aperuit vulvam illius
23 quae concepit et peperit filium dicens abstulit Deus obprobrium meum
