(Laban had given his slave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her slave.)
(Laban had given his slave Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her slave.)
That’s what Jacob did. He finished the week with Leah. Then Laban gave his daughter Rachel to him as his wife.
Jacob slept with Rachel too. He loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.
While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went to bed with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had 12 sons.
The sons of Rachel’s slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.
This is the account of Jacob and his descendants. Joseph was a seventeen-year-old young man. He took care of the flocks with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph told his father about the bad things his brothers were doing.
These were the descendants of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel. She gave birth to these sons for Jacob. The total was 7.
