The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Vers. 19, 20. And Leah conceived again, and bare…
Vers. 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. Dedwrhtai moi dwron kalon (LXX), dotavit me dote bona (Vulgate), hath presented me with a goodly present. The word dbz is an apax legomenon. Now will my husband dwell with me. lbz also an apax leg., 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 aiJretiei, 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 Zebulani.e. Dwelling; from zabal, to dwell with, with a play upon the word lbz to hire, which, commencing with the same letter, was regarded as similar in sound to dbz; the d and the l being sometimes interchangeable (Keil, Kalisch).

30:19-20 Zebulun means “honor” or “gift,” as in a dowry or tribute. Leah thought that God gave her Zebulun so that her husband would honor her. This hope never fully left her.
