Genesis30:3
3 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 .
An Ellipsis or short speech, she shall bear a child which may be laid upon my knees or in my lap, which I may adopt and bring up as if it were my own. See Gen. 50. 23. Is[illegible: 1+ letters]. 66. 12.
For as servants, so their work and fruit, were not their own, but their masters.
Marginal references: Heb. be built by her.
