Genesis 30:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:22

And God remembered Rachel
In a way of mercy and kindness, whom he seemed to have forgotten, by not giving her children: and God hearkened to her;
to her prayer, which had been made time after time, that she might have children; but hitherto God had delayed to answer, but now gives one: and opened her womb;
gave her conception, and made her fruitful, and she became the mother of a child she so much desired.

Genesis 30:22 In-Context

20 “God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.

21 After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
