3936. Verses 12-13 And Zilpah, Leah's servant-girl, bore a second son to Jacob. And Leah said, In my blessedness! for the daughters will call me blessed. And she called his name Asher.

'Zilpah, Leah's servant-girl, bore a second son to Jacob' means acknowledgement of a second [general truth]. 'And Leah said, In my blessedness! for the daughters will call me blessed' in the highest sense means eternity, in the internal sense the happiness of eternal life, in the external sense the delight that belongs to the affections. 'And she called his name Asher' means the essential nature.
