3924. Verses 7-8 And Bilhah, Rachel's servant-girl, conceived again and born a second son to Jacob. And Rachel said, With the wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed. And she called his name Naphtali.

'Bilhah, Rachel's servant-girl, conceived again and bore' means here, as previously, reception and acknowledgement. 'A second son to Jacob' means a second general truth. 'And Rachel said, With the wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed' in the highest sense means [the Lord's] own power, in the internal sense temptation in which a person overcomes, in the external sense resistance offered by the natural man. 'And she called his name Naphtali' means the essential nature of it.
