3958. Verses 19-20. And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob. And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my man dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons; and she called his name Zebulun. “And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob,” signifies reception and acknowledgment; “and Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my man dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons,” signifies in the supreme sense the Divine Itself of the Lord and His Divine Human; in the internal sense, the heavenly marriage; and in the external sense, conjugial love; “and she called his name Zebulun,” signifies the quality.
