15 레아가 그에게 이르되 `네가 내 남편을 빼앗은 것이 작은 일이냐 ? 네가 내 아들의 합환채도 빼앗고자 하느냐 ?' 라헬이 가로되 `그러면 형의 아들의 합환채 대신에 오늘밤에 내 남편이 형과 동침하리라' 하리라

3912. Verses 3-5. And she said, Behold my maidservant Bilhah, come to her and she shall bear upon my knees, and I shall be built, even I from her. And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for a woman, and Jacob came to her. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. “And she said, Behold my maidservant Bilhah,” signifies the affirming means there is between natural truth and interior truth; “come to her,” signifies that with this there is the faculty of conjunction; “and she shall bear upon my knees,” signifies acknowledgment in the affection of interior truth, from which there is conjunction; “and I shall be built, even I, from her,” signifies that thereby this affection has life; “and she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for a woman” signifies that the affirmative means was adjoined; “and Jacob came to her,” signifies that it was conjoined; “and Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son,” signifies reception and acknowledgment.
