Genesis 30:3-9
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. 7And Rachel’s slave Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8So Rachel said, “With 10mighty wrestling I have 11wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed.” And she named him Naphtali.
9When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her slave Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
