In question number 4, "True or false: Jacob's wives were sisters", I answered false. If Zilpah and Bilhah were maidservants, were they also sisters in addition? Reply

in response to John:
Rachel and Leah were the sisters Jacob married. The story is in Genesis chapter 29. Bilhah was the maid of Rachel. Jacob had children by her, described in Genesis chapter 30. He also had children with Zilpah, the maid of Leah.
Bilhah's sons were Dan and Naphtali. Zilpah's sons were Asher and Gad. These are identified in Genesis 30: 5-13.
Interesting question about the relationship of Bilhah and Zilpah. From what I can tell, Genesis doesn't answer that question. Genesis 29:29 does say that Laban gifted Bilhah to Rachel. Chapter 29:24 says that Zilpah was gifted to Leah, Both Zilpah and Bilhah had been the handmaids of Laban.

well said. Torah is the answer, and I too am becoming more familiar with these stories.
I feel like I'm just really scratching the surface on this wonderful new (old) way of Life!

I used to attend Chaplain Levi Meier's torah study at CSMC. My Hebrew was comparable to a bar mitzvah boy's. I would recite a passage in English from Genesis. Chaplain Meier would pause for a moment, then direct the class to the text. He explained that in order for him to locate the text, he would first translate it back into Hebrew, then tell us where to find it in the English torah from which we studied as a group. Not sure how common that capability is in the community. It impresses me to this day! Reply

That's great Hansen, if it's not broken, don't fix it, or whatever works, hold on. As we all are tightening our grip on The Tree of Life (Torah)!
