178. And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said unto Jacob. Give me children, or else I die.. And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb: And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, _go in into her; and she shall bare upon my knees, that I may also have children by her_. And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife and Jacob _went in unto her_. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. Genesis xxx. 1 to 5.
179. And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maid servants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Baehel's tent. _Now Rachel had taken the images_, and put them into the camel's furniture, _and sat upon them_, and Laban searched all the tent but found them not. And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord, that I cannot rise up before thee: _for the custom of women is upon me_: and he searched, but found not the images. Gen, xxxi. 33 to 35.
180. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, _Lie with me_. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hands. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me, but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? And it came to pass as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her to lay by her, or be with her. _And it came to pass about this time that Joseph went into her house to do his business: and there was none of the men of the house there within. And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me and he left his garment in her hand, and fled and got him out._ And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, _See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice._
