Genesis 30:21

19 Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20 “God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.

After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
