Genesis 30:10-11 - Exposition

And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. And Leah said, A troop cometh. בָּגָד , for בְּגָד , in or with good fortune; ἐν τύχη ( LXX .); feliciter , sc. this happens to me (Vulgate), a translation which has the sanction of Gesenius, Furst, Rosenmüller, Keil, Kalisch, and other content authorities—the Keri, whith is followed by Onkelos and Syriac, reading בָּא גָד , fortune cometh. The Authorised rendering, supported by the Samaritan, and supposed to accord better with Genesis 49:19 , is approved by Calvin, Ainsworth, Bush, and others. And she called his name Gad —i.e. Good Fortune.
