Leah saw that she could have no more children. So she gave her slave girl Zilpah to Jacob.
This was after Abram lived ten years in the land of Canaan. And Sarai gave Hagar to her husband Abram. (Hagar was her servant from Egypt.)
(Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter to be her maid.)
Then Zilpah had a son.
Then God allowed Leah to become pregnant again. She gave birth to a fifth son.
So Rachel gave Bilhah to her husband Jacob. Jacob had sexual relations with Bilhah.
Rachel said, “I have fought hard to compete with my sister. And I have won.” So she named that son Naphtali. [172]
All those were Jacob’s sons from his wife’s servant, Zilpah. (Zilpah was the maid that Laban had given to his daughter Leah.) There were 16 people in this family.
