The document summarizes the story in Genesis 30:1-6 where Rachel, unable to bear children, gives her servant Bilhah to Jacob so that Bilhah can bear children on Rachel's behalf. Bilhah conceives and bears a son, which causes Rachel to say "God has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son." The document then provides additional related Bible passages on God's power and salvation through Christ alone.
