Servant of Laban, Zilpah has been abused by her master’s sons since she was young. Forced to take care of the pigs, she ends up liking the animals. Zilpah is simple, scolding, but faithful and sincere as anyone and with a good heart. Her marks and wounds, she hides under a veil of lightness and laughter, without giving in to pain. In marrying Jacob, Leah asks her father to give her Zilpah as a servant, to protect her from the ill-treatment she suffered. Leah’s great friend, she’ll be by your side for life. At the request of Leah, Zilpah shall give two sons to Jacob: Gad and Asher. Tradition of the old times, where a large offspring was necessary, it was common for wives to give their husbands to their servants to beget some children.
