Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son. “God has given me a good gift,” Leah said. “This time my husband will honor me because I have borne six sons for him,” and she named him Zebulun. (Genesis 30:19-20)
The name Zebulun sounds like the Hebrew word for “honored.”
No matter what we do, we may never receive the honor from people that we desire. Despite Leah having given Jacob six sons, we see no hint that Jacob ever did honor her as he did Rachel.
But God has now crowned us who believe in Jesus with glory and honor. Not because of anything we have done, but because of what Jesus did for us.
What is man that you remember him, or the son of man that you care for him? You made him lower than the angels for a short time; you crowned him with glory and honor and subjected everything under his feet…As it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him.
But we do see Jesus—made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace he might taste death for everyone—crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death.
For in bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God—for whom and through whom all things exist—should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Hebrews 2:6-10)
As Paul would add in another letter,
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15)
