Génesis 30:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 30:17

And God hearkened unto Leah
To the prayer of Leah, as the Targum of Jonathan, for more children: the desire of these good women for the company of their husband was not from lust, or an amorous desire in them, but for the sake of having many children, as appears by giving their maids to him; and the reason of this was, as Bishop Patrick well observes, that the promise made to Abraham of the multiplication of his seed, and of the Messiah springing from thence, might be fulfilled; and is the true reason of Moses's taking such particular notice of those things, which might seem below the dignity of such a sacred history: and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son;
the fifth he had by her, but the ninth in all, that were born unto him.

Génesis 30:17 In-Context

15 Pero Lea le contestó:—¿Te parece poco el haberme quitado a mi marido, que ahora quieres también quitarme las mandrágoras de mi hijo?—Bueno —contestó Raquel—, te propongo que, a cambio de las mandrágoras de tu hijo, Jacob duerma contigo esta noche.
16 Al anochecer, cuando Jacob volvía del campo, Lea salió a su encuentro y le dijo:—Hoy te acostarás conmigo, porque te he alquilado a cambio de las mandrágoras de mi hijo.Y Jacob durmió con ella esa noche.
17 Dios escuchó a Lea, y ella quedó embarazada y le dio a Jacob un quinto hijo.
18 Entonces dijo Lea: «Dios me ha recompensado, porque yo le entregué mi criada a mi esposo». Por eso lo llamó Isacar.
19 Lea quedó embarazada de nuevo, y le dio a Jacob un sexto hijo.
