Genesis 30:20

Study

       

20 Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun.

Arcana Coelestia #3989

Studere hoc loco

3989. 'He said, What shall I give you?' means knowledge. This becomes clear from its being an anxious desire and a request to know what he wanted for wages and how much.

'And Jacob said' means a reply. This is clear without explanation.
