According to Rashi , Zilpah was younger than Bilhah , and Laban s decision to give her to Leah was part of the deception he used to trick Jacob into marrying Leah, who was older than Rachel. The morning after the wedding, Laban explained to Jacob, This is not done in our place, to give the younger before the older bibleverse Genesis 29 26 HE . But at night, to mask the deception, Laban gave the veiled bride the younger of the handmaids, so Jacob would think that he was really marrying Rachel, the younger of the sisters.

Pilegesh he is a Hebrew language Hebrew term for a concubine with similar social and legal standing to a recognized wife, often for the purpose of producing offspring . Etymology Pilegesh is related to the Hebrew Aramaic palga isha , half a wife , and the Greek pallax pallakis , mistress lover mistress . Legal characteristics A pilegesh was recognized among the ancient Hebrews and enjoyed the same rights in the house as the legitimate wife. Since having children in Judaism was considered a great blessing, legitimate wives often gave their maids to their husbands so they could have children with them when those women themselves where childless, normally because of infertility issues as in the cases of Sarah and Hagar Bible Hagar , Leah and Zilpah , Rachel and Bilhah . The concubine commanded the same respect and inviolability as the wife, and it was regarded as the deepest dishonor for the man to whom she belonged if hands were laid upon her. According to the Babylonian Talmud Sanh. 21a , the difference between a pilegesh and a full wife was that the latter received a ketubah and her marriage was preceded by a formal betrothal kiddushin , which was not the case with the former. According to R. Judah, however, the concubine also received a ketubah, but without the aliment pertaining to it. Any offspring created as a result of a union between a pilegesh and a man were on equal legal footing with children of the man and his wife. Biblical references Several biblical figures had concubines when they were not able to create natural children with their wives. The most famous example of this was with Abraham and Sarah. Sarah, feeling guilty about her inability to give Abraham children, gave her maidservant Hagar to Abraham. Their union created Ishmael . Other biblical figures such as Gideon , David , and Solomon had concubines in addition to many childbearing wives.
