This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_30:23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
Ver. 23. God hath taken away my reproach.] That is, her barrenness, - with which she was often upbraided, - when now she was sufficiently humbled; besides that her children, as the rest of those women that were long barren, are noted to have been the best, and most gracious; as Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Samuel, the Baptist, &c. A child of many prayers cannot lightly miscarry, as he {a} told Monica.
{a} Ambrose.
