SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:35
Y concibió otra vez, y dio a luz un hijo, y dijo: Esta vez alabaré al SEÑOR; por esto llamó su nombre Judá; y dejó de dar a luz.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 29:35
Verse 35. She called his name Judah] hdwhy yehudah, a confessor; one who acknowledges God, and acknowledges that all good comes from his hands, and gives him the praise due to his grace and mercy. From this patriarch the Jews have their name, and could it be now rightly applied to them, it would intimate that they were a people that confess God, acknowledge his bounty, and praise him for his grace. Left bearing.] That is, for a time; for she had several children afterwards.Literally translated, the original tdlm dm[t taamod milledeth-she stood still from bearing, certainly does not convey the same meaning as that in our translation; the one appearing to signify that she ceased entirely from having children; the other, that she only desisted for a time, which was probably occasioned by a temporary suspension of Jacob's company, who appears to have deserted the tent of Leah through the jealous management of Rachel.
The intelligent and pious care of the original inhabitants of the world to call their children by those names which were descriptive of some remarkable event in providence, circumstance of their birth, or domestic occurrence, is worthy, not only of respect, but of imitation. As the name itself continually called to the mind, both of the parents and the child, the circumstance from which it originated, it could not fail to be a lasting blessing to both. How widely different is our custom! Unthinking and ungodly, we impose names upon our offspring as we do upon our cattle; and often the dog, the horse, the monkey, and the parrot, share in common with our children the names which are called Christian! Some of our Christian names, so called, are absurd, others are ridiculous, and a third class impious; these last being taken from the demon gods and goddesses of heathenism. May we hope that the rational and pious custom recommended in the Scriptures shall ever be restored, even among those who profess to believe in, fear, and love God!
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-35 - The names Leah gave her children, expressed her respect and regard both to God and to her husband. Reuben, or See a son, with thi thought, Now will my husband love me; Levi, or joined, expecting, No will my husband be joined unto me. Mutual affection is both the duty and comfort of the married relation; and yoke-fellows should study to recommend themselves to each other, 1Co 7:33, 34. She thankfull acknowledges the kind providence of God in hearing her. Whateve supports and comforts us under afflictions, or tends to our deliveranc from them, God must be owned in it. Her fourth son she called Judah, or praise, saying, Now will I praise the Lord. This was he, of whom, a concerning the flesh, Christ came. Whatever is the matter of ou rejoicing, ought to be the matter of our thanksgiving. Fresh favour should quicken us to praise God for former favours; Now will I prais the Lord more and better than I have done. All our praises must centr in Christ, both as the matter of them, and as the Mediator of them. He descended after the flesh from him whose name was "Praise," and He is our praise. Is Christ formed in my heart? Now will I praise the Lord __________________________________________________________________
