Genesis 30:1-5_Israelite Wives "pimping" their Husbands and More

Genesis 30:1-5 New International Version (NIV)

30 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I'll die!”
2 Jacob became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
3 Then she said, “Here is Bilhah, my servant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.”
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her, 5 and she became pregnant and bore him a son.

Sadly, this practice became a tradition even to this day. However, it has been done without the wives consent-for the most part. Instead of being asked, Some men pimp themselves out and/or the "maid" tries to Holla @ him.

I've also noticed that both Abraham and Issac passed off their wives as their Sisters. I get the reason was to avoid problems but problems arose anyway. Sadly, Some of our men still do this. However, it's mostly done to holla @ another woman.

Go figure...hard habits to break. We gotta break away from such "practices" and more that have probably originated from the Bible days.
