1The fourth son is Jehudah, in short Judah, as much as praise of the Lord, or the Lord be, or is praised, to express her thankfulness, for she said, Now I will praise the Lord, which hath caused mine husbands affections somewhat more to incline unto me, by making me a mother of four sons. For so it may seem they did, and that also maybe justly accounted one cause of her sisters envy, because she saw Jacob begin to love her more heartily than before. These four were borne one after another, year by year, without long intermission; then she ceased bearing, till Jacob had four children by the two handmaids, then she had two more sons.
1The fourth son is Iehudah, in short Iudah, as much as praise of the Lord, or the Lord be, or is praised, to expresse her thankefulnesse, for she said, Now I will praise the Lord, which hath caused mine husbands affections somewhat more to incline unto me, by making me a mother of foure sons. For so it may seeme they did, and that also maybe justly accounted one cause of her sisters envy, because shee saw Iacob begin to love her more heartily than before.

1Issachar the fifth son, signifying there is a reward for giving her maid to her husband, but in this she was much mistaken, God is not wont to give rewards for our bad deeds, and though it was of ignorance, yet it was a sin in her to give her maid to her husband; therefore we must take heed of imitating her in conceiting that God is well pleased with our faults. Such is the blindness of our minds, that we are apt to run into such errors.
