Genesis 30:13
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
And Leah said,.... Upon the birth of the second son by her maid:
Happy am I; or, "in my happiness"; or, "for my happiness" {c}; that is, this child is an addition to my happiness, and will serve to increase it: for the daughters will call me blessed; the women of the place where she lived would speak of her as a happy person, that had so many children of her own, and others by her maid; see Ps 127:5:
and she called his name Asher, which signifies "happy" or "blessed". These two sons of Zilpah, according to the Jewish writers {d}, were born, Gad on the tenth day of Marchesvan or October, and lived one hundred and twenty five years; and Asher on the twenty second day of Shebet or January, and lived one hundred and twenty three years.
