And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,

And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

and she giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife, and Jacob goeth in unto her;

And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.

Dedit ergo ei Bilhah ancillam suam in uxorem, et ingressus est ad eam Iahacob.

And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid,.... To be enjoyed as a wife, though she was no other than a concubine; yet such were sometimes called wives, and were secondary ones, and were under the proper lawful wife, nor did their children inherit; but those which Jacob had by his wives' maids did inherit with the rest:
and Jacob went in unto her; consenting to what Rachel his wife proposed to him: having concubines, as well as more wives than one, were not thought criminal in those times, and were suffered of God, and in this case for the multiplication of Jacob's seed; and perhaps he might the more readily comply with the motion of his wife, from the example of his grandfather Abraham, who took Hagar to wife at the instance of Sarah.
