(Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)

(Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)

Soon Leah’s servant Zilpah gave Jacob a son.

The female servants came forward with their children and bowed down.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, were Dan and Naphtali.

Then Leah’s servant Zilpah gave Jacob another son.

and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not given birth to any children, but she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar.

This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

So Rachel gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob had marital relations with her.

Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, became pregnant again and gave Jacob another son.

Then Leah said, “God has granted me a reward because I gave my servant to my husband as a wife.” So she named him Issachar.

In this way Jacob became extremely prosperous. He owned large flocks, male and female servants, camels, and donkeys.

Abram said to Sarai, “Since your servant is under your authority, do to her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai treated Hagar harshly, so she ran away from Sarai.

He said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” She replied, “I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai.”

So Abimelech gave sheep, cattle, and male and female servants to Abraham. He also gave his wife Sarah back to him.

“The Lord has richly blessed my master and he has become very wealthy. The Lord has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

I have oxen, donkeys, sheep, and male and female servants. I have sent this message to inform my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”

He put the servants and their children in front, with Leah and her children behind them, and Rachel and Joseph behind them.
