|And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees that I may also have children by her.
|And she said, "Here is my handmaid, [[Bilhah]]. Take her to bed, and she will give birth on my knees, so that I can have children through her."
|And she said, "Here is my handmaid, [[Bilhah]]. Take her to bed, and she will give birth on my knees, so that I can have children through her."
