What does Le'ah say in Genesis 30:11?

Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 7 Notes For Genesis: Some translations say "A troop cometh", while others say "With Gad", or "What luck!" or something related to fortune. I think the correct translation is, "With slicing!". The second definition from the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible is "Slice" and this makes more sense due to the nature of the sister rivalry here. Slicing is referring to the rivalry and battle between the sisters for the love and attention of their husband. I do not believe that Le'ah believed in luck or fortune, but that she was a woman of Yahweh who believed in the true Elohiym.
