And Leah conceived again
The phrase "Leah conceived again" indicates the continuation of God's blessing upon Leah's fertility. The Hebrew root for "conceived" is "הרָה" (harah), which signifies becoming pregnant. This repeated conception underscores the divine favor and providence in Leah's life, despite her less favored status compared to Rachel. In the historical context of the patriarchal society, a woman's ability to bear children, especially sons, was a significant measure of her worth and status. Leah's continued fertility is a testament to God's ongoing provision and blessing, affirming her role in the unfolding narrative of Israel's history.

and bore a sixth son
The act of bearing a "sixth son" is significant in the biblical narrative. The number six in Hebrew culture often symbolizes completeness or imperfection, depending on the context. Here, it suggests the fullness of Leah's contribution to Jacob's lineage. The birth of this sixth son further solidifies Leah's position within the family and the broader narrative of the twelve tribes of Israel. Each son represents a future tribe, and Leah's contribution is substantial, highlighting her importance in God's plan for His people.

to Jacob
The mention of "Jacob" is crucial as it ties the birth of Leah's sixth son to the patriarchal lineage. Jacob, later named Israel, is a central figure in the biblical narrative, and his sons become the progenitors of the twelve tribes of Israel. The historical and scriptural context emphasizes the importance of lineage and heritage in God's covenantal promises. Jacob's role as the father of these tribes is pivotal, and Leah's sons are integral to the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This phrase reminds readers of the continuity of God's covenant and the unfolding of His divine plan through the generations.

Verses 19, 20. - And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. And Leah said, God (Elohim; vide supra) hath endued me with a good dowry. Δεδώρηται μοι δῶρον καλον (LXX.), dotavit me dote bona (Vulgate), hath presented me with a goodly present. The word זָבַד is a ἄπαξ λεγόμενον. Now will my husband dwell with me. זָבַל, also a ἅπαξ λεγ., signifies to be or make round (Gesenius), to limit round or encompass (Furst); hence, according to both, to cohabit or dwell together as husband and wife. The LXX. render αἱρετιεῖ, the meaning being that Leah's six sons would, in her judgment, be an inducement sufficiently powerful to cause Jacob to select her society instead of that of her barren sister. And she called his name Zebulan - i.e. Dwelling; from zabal, to dwell with, with a play upon the word זָבַל, to hire, which, commencing with the same letter, was regarded as similar in sound to זָבַד, the ד and the ל being sometimes interchangeable (Keil, Kalisch).
