Genesis 30:3-8
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
3 But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
4 And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
5 When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
6 And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
7 And again Bala conceived and bore another,
8 For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
