And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now I will praise the LORD." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.—Genesis 29:35
Judah, whose name means praise, was destined to produce the kingly tribe—including David and, eventually Christ. It was so awesome for me to read that this is the first mention of the word translated praise....more commonly rendered “give thanks” in the Bible.
From Days of Praise - “Whenever Leah spoke to her son, she would actually be calling him “Thanks” and thus in effect remembering her gratitude for this gift of a special son.
We also continue to give thanks every day for that special Son of the tribe of Judah, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!—Romans 11:33
