Jan 27, 2023 at 2:23 comment added Fred @ninamag The same terminology is used in B'reishis 30:23, where Rachel expresses her relief and gratitude at the birth of Yosef. Rashi (ad loc.) cites the Yalkut that Rachel was worried that, as a result of her barrenness as Ya'akov's wife, she would ultimately have to marry Esav instead. In a sense, she was not firmly set in Ya'akov's household until she bore Yosef.
Jan 26, 2023 at 23:52 comment added ninamag @IsaacKotlicky I understand the connection about the midrashim on Dina, but what is the connection to "the possuk of Rachel naming Yosef"?

Jul 28, 2015 at 12:08 comment added Isaac Kotlicky Interesting. This might be connected to the midrashim on Dina "marrying" Shimon in order to relieve her disgrace, or the possuk of Rachel naming Yosef.
