Genesis 30:14

"Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher."

Key Reflection

Leah's declaration reflects her joy in being blessed by having children, especially since she had previously been overlooked in favor of her sister Rachel. By naming her son Asher, which means "happy," Leah expresses both her own happiness and a hope for continued blessings and contentment within her family.
