Genesis 29:35

Study

       

35 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.

3764. 'He saw' means perception. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as perceiving, dealt with below at verse 32 of this chapter where Reuben, who was given that name from the word 'seeing', is the subject.
