3958. Verses 19-20 And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; once again my husband will dwell with me' because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

'Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob' means reception and acknowledgement. 'And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; once again my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons' in the highest sense means the Lord's Divine itself and His Divine Human, in the internal sense the heavenly marriage, and in the external sense conjugial love.
