Commentary
And Leah said, a troop cometh,.... A troop of children, having bore four herself, and now her maid another, and more she expected; or the commander of a troop cometh, one that shall head an army and overcome his enemies; which agrees with the prophecy of Jacob,
Gen 49:19
,
and she called his name Gad: which signifies a "troop", glorying in the multitude of her children, that she had or hoped to have.
