Midrash Aggadah, ed. Buber, Gen. 29:24: Zilpah was Rachel’s handmaiden and her father exchanged her for Bilhah when he deceived Jacob, so that Zilpah became Leah’s handmaiden.
Leah Shaindel: Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller says, and im not sure where she got this from, but she says in a shiur that some peoples’ roles are to be like the sun, giving light, and others’ are to be like the moon, reflecting others’ light. Bilhah and Zilpah, were to reflect Leah’s and Rachel’s light. So that the greater they were, the more selfless they were, merging their selves into Rachel and Leah until Bilhah and Rachel became "one" and Leah and Zilpah became "one."
SALEMPEARCE: Bilhah and Zilpah speak not a word in the Torah.
SALEMPEARCE: If, in the logic of the Bible, patrilineal descent is what matters, then Bilhah and Zilpah deserve as much recognition as the traditional four matriarchs for their role in the creation of the Israelite people.
Gen. Rabbah 71:30: Zilpah was the youngest of Jacob’s four wives and her pregnancy was not apparent; therefore the Torah states merely that ‘she bore’ (Gen. 30:10–12), in contrast with the other Matriarchs, of each of whom it is also said ‘she conceived’ (Gen. Rabbah 71:30).
AshurLeaks: Do you include Zilpah and Bilhah in the Amidah? jw
takaeo: no? i didn’t know that was a thing?
