and he gave to Rachel Bilhah, the sister of Zilpah as a handmaid.

And he served yet other seven years for Rachel, for Leah had been given to him for nothing.

And the Lord opened the womb of Leah, and she conceived and bare Jacob a son, and he called his name Reuben, on the fourteenth day of the ninth month, in the first year of the third week.

But the womb of Rachel was closed, for the Lord saw that Leah was hated and Rachel loved.

And again Jacob went in unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob a second son, and he called his name Simeon, on the twenty-first of the tenth month, and in the third year of this week.
