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 Leah became pregnant again. She had a sixth son by Jacob.
20 Then Leah said, "God has given me a priceless gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor. I've had six sons by him." So she named the boy Zebulun.
21 Some time later she had a daughter. She named her Dinah.
22 Then God listened to Rachel. He showed concern for her. He made it possible for her to have children.
23 She became pregnant. She had a son. She said, "God has taken my shame away."
