The Future of Bible Study Is Here.
Genesis 30:24
30:24 She named him Joseph,48 saying, “May the Lord give me yet another son.”
| 48 | sn The name Joseph (יוֹסֵף, yoseph) means “may he add.” The name expresses Rachel’s desire to have an additional son. In Hebrew the name sounds like the verb (אָסַף, ’asasf) translated “taken away” in the earlier statement made in v. 23. So the name, while reflecting Rachel’s hope, was also a reminder that God had removed her shame. |
