"And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Leah said, God hath given me my hire,.... Of the mandrakes with which she had hired of Rachel a night's lodging with Jacob, and for which she had a
sufficient recompense, by the son that God had given her: and she added another reason, and a very preposterous one, and shows she put a wrong construction on the blessing she received: because I have given my maiden to my husband; which, she judged, was so well pleasing to God, that he had rewarded her with another son: and she called his name Issachar, which signifies "hire" or "reward"; or, there is a reward, or a man of reward.
