bore a sixth son to Jacob
on Genesis 30:19-21
Zebulun carries the sense of dwelling, and Leah hopes her husband will honour her now that she has borne six sons. A single line then reports a daughter, Dinah, the only daughter this family names, with no speech from anyone. Chapter 34 turns on what is done to her at Shechem.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And Leah conceived again,.... For bearing children Jacob took more to her, and more frequently attended her apartment and bed: and bare Jacob a sixth son; the sixth by her, but the tenth by her and his two maids.
