Charles Ellicott Commentary Genesis 30:6

"And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan." — Genesis 30:6 (ASV)

God has judged me. —Rachel has no misgivings herself as to the rectitude of her conduct, and by the name she gives the child, she affirms that God also had given a decision in her favour; for “Dan” means judging. And while Leah had spoken of Jehovah, Rachel speaks of Elohim, not merely because she could not expect a child of Bilhah to be the ancestor of the Messiah, but because she was herself half an idolater (Genesis 31:19). When, however, she has a child of her own, she also, taught by long trial, speaks of Jehovah (Genesis 30:24).
