Genesis 30:3-6
3Then she said, “1Here is my female slave Bilhah: have relations with her that she may 2give birth 3on my knees, so that 45by her I too may obtain a child.”
4So 6she gave him her slave Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob had relations with her.
5Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6Then Rachel said, “God has 78vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore she named him 9Dan.
