Genesis 30:3-9
3She said, “1Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her that she may 2bear on my knees, that 34through her I too may have children.” 4So 5she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. 5Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6Then Rachel said, “God has 67vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore she named him 8Dan. 7Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8So Rachel said, “With 9mighty wrestlings I have 10wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed.” And she named him Naphtali.
9When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
