Genesis 30:3-9

3And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in to her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.1

4And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for a wife: and Jacob went in to her.

5And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan.2

7And Bilhah Rachel’s maid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

8And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.34

9When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob for a wife.
