Genesis 30:3-9

3Then she saidH559, “HereH2009 is my maidservantH519 BilhahH1090. Sleep withH935 herH413, that she may bear childrenH3205 for me,1 so that through herH4480 IH595 tooH1571 can build a familyH1129.”

4So Rachel gaveH5414 Jacob her servantH8198 BilhahH1090 as a wifeH802, andH3290 he slept withH935 herH413, 5and BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 him a sonH1121. 6Then RachelH7354 saidH559, “GodH430 has vindicated meH1777; He has heardH8085 my pleaH6963 and givenH5414 me a sonH1121H5921H3651.” So she named himH7121H8034 DanH1835.2

7And Rachel’sH7354 servantH8198 BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029 againH5750 and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121. 8Then RachelH7354 saidH559, “In my great strugglesH5319H430, I have wrestledH6617 withH5973 my sisterH269 andH1571 wonH3201.” So she namedH7121 himH8034 NaphtaliH5321.3

9When LeahH3812 sawH7200 thatH3588 she had stoppedH5975 having childrenH3205, she gaveH3947H5414 her servantH8198 ZilpahH2153 to JacobH3290 as a wifeH802.
