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.
