How many wives Bible mentioned for Jacob?

Question

I have read this in bible but not sure if it is true or not?

Genesis 32:22: "And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, "

Answer 1

He had four wives and 12 children

Leah-Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah (daughter)

Rachel- Joseph and Benjamin

Bilhah (Rachel's servant) - Dan and Naphtali

Zilpah (Leah's Servants) - Gad and Asher

These would be the 12 son's of Israel

Answer 2

In Genesis 32:22, it did not say that Jacob has many wives. It was not stated wither that Jacob was the one involved to have rose that night because verses 22 to 31 is about the time when Jacob fought with Peniel. If you continue to read some verses like verse 24 it says:Jacob was left alone and a certain man fought with him until down.

So it was not Jacob who rose up that night, who took his two wives, two woman servants and his eleven children that pass over the passage of Jaboc.

The story is all about the naming or how Israel got its name as Israel

Answer 3

The Bible mentions four women in connection with Jacob. He wanted to marry a girl named Rachel, but her father tricked him to marrying her sister Leah instead. Then, in exchange for seven years of service to the father, Jabob was permitted to also marry Rachel.

When Rachel was unable to conceive a child, she had her handmaiden, Bilhah, act as a surrogate and for her, and Jacob had two children by her.

Not to be outdone, Leah had her maid, Zilpah, a act as a surrogate for her, and produced two sons to go with the 6 Leah already had.

Finally Rachel conceived and gave birth to two sons, but died while delivering the last one.

So Jacob had two wives and two handmaidens who acted as surrogates for producting children.

Answer 4

Jacob married two sisters—Leah and then Rachel. He then married Rachel's maid Bilhah followed by Leah's maid Zilpah. These relationships caused him problems.

Answer 5

Jacob..had to marry two women ..and have two wives...because his uncle ...replaced Rachel..in the night of their marriage...with Leah..Jacob loved Rachel...not Leah..His uncle did so, because Leah had to marry first, by age...
In the movie..it is shown that they gave Jacob to drink..so he didn't realise it was Leah..not Rachel..
He worked 7 years for his uncle..to receive Rachel ..and he dicovered that Rachel was replaced with Leah..in the night of their wedding..

So..his uncle told him that if he works other 7 years for him, he will give Jacov..Rachel next week..So they did..And Jacob worked 14 years to receive Rachel as wife..and Leah was added ..because his uncle was stupid and sinner..and tricked Jacob..and cheated Jacob..to get rid of Leah....first..as the habit was.

But..having more wives..it was against the law of God.given when making Adam and Eve..one man to one women...one love...They took the habit /custom..from the people from around who obeyed to the idols of the demons..So we might say that having two or more wives..came as a temptation from devil and forgiven and tolerated by God ..for a period of time..When Jesus came..He said ..a man/woman must not look and want another one then his wife/her husband.So acctually nowadays..for a thing like that Jacob will end in hell..and his uncle too...
Jacob anyway loved Rachel..as they first fell in love.Leah had to win sometimes...to sleep with Jacov..She had 1o children ..but some of them were the children of her servant..When a wife couldn't get children ..she sent her husband to her servant to get a child...like Sara who didn't believe what God said.They were very stupid..this thing is not allowed by God ...today..even if a couple cannot have children they must stay together and not cheat..and sleep with someone else..because love is given only to them..two..and it is a false thing to have a child with someone you don't love..

But if the wives let them sleep with their servantwomen ..this show they were stupid somehow..and greedy..and anyway..he already slept with more then a woman having more then a wife..and the husband ..did it ..because ..you know..if your husband sends you to sleep with another man ..and have a child..what could you do..it means you are proud..

Then Rachel had only 2 children..and died when she gave birth to the second child...but Jacov loved most the children of Rachel..because anyway..he fell in love with Rachel not with Leah..

Although you know..Jacob struggled hand to hand one night with God..Jacob saw the angels of God and they welcomed him..at their camp..but perhaps Jacob ..was punished by God...letting Rachel to be replaced..because 1 Jacob has stolen the blessing of his brother from their father..and 2 why did Jacob drink ..in the night of his wedding ..as shown in the movie..You know...in the movie ..the second night..of his weding with Rachel..he didn't drink this time....to be sure ..it was Rachell..not somebody else ..again..
