About 3ABN World

Mollie Steenson Bobby Davis Michael Prewitt Ariel Warren Adam Dean Rena Lee Barbara Nolen Mitch Owen J.D. Quinn

Those who occupy positions of influence and responsibility in the church should be foremost in the work of God. If they move reluctantly, others will not move at all. But their zeal hath provoked very many. [2 Corinthians 9:2.] When their light burns brightly, a thousand torches will be kindled at the flame. Ellen G. White, The Southern Watchman, April 5, 1904.

Dear Partner, If Danny Shelton had waited until he had the money to start 3ABN, the first Adventist network would still be just a dream, James W. Gilley instead of reaching the world in its twenty-ninth year! That same 3ABN President spirit of reaching out in faith continues through your letters of encouragement and sacrificial contributions. Thank you! Five years ago the world faced the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Most (but not all) of our business friends urged us to cut back, and some ministries laid off as many as 40 percent of their staff! However, Danny, Mollie Steenson, and Brian Hamilton joined me repeatedly to pray for Gods direction. Under His guidance we chose to move boldly forward, and contrary to rumors, our contributions never decreased! Weve been very successful in holding down travel expenses

Los Lunas, New Mexico: 3ABN has been my lifeline for over 25 years, and without you feeding me and instructing me in Gods Word, Id still be lost. Ive learned through my past rebellious ways that Gods love for me is awesome, amazing, and forgiving. Thank you! May God richly bless you.

Via e-mail: 3ABN is really doing Jacksonville, Florida: I dont

a good job! It really inspired me to go to church.... Ive learned a lot from 3ABN, and, as a result, I got baptized a year ago. Im still keeping the Sabbath with my Jesus, and watching my 3ABN. May God reward His faithful servantsthe 3ABN family.
From a prisoner in Michigan:

Michigan: One day we would

like to share with you the extreme makeover God is doing in our minds. We have been labeled victims of mental illness for the last 15 years. We have been on and off so many psychiatric medications that weve lost count. Jesus has delivered us from the hellish prison of our minds and has restored us by His Word. We are convinced that Christ has plucked us out of Satans hands. We know we are being called to be His witnesses; to light the darkness that so many are trapped in. May God bless you for caring!

Bronx, New York: I am writing this

have the words to tell you what a blessing you have been to me. I watched your last camp meeting. Excellence! As with all that I watch on your network, I learned something; and in this case, I learned much. It was 3ABN that helped me get right with God and join the Seventh-day Adventist Church in March 2008, after 48 years of procrastinating and stubbornly refusing to do what God wanted.

Recently we were blessed to get Dare to Dream into a large juvenile correctional facility in Illinois, says Dr. Yvonne Lewis, general manager for 3ABN Dare to Dream. Imagine being able to take cutting edge programs about Jesus into places that house so many young people in despair!

id you know that Dare to Dream produces programming that is tailor-made to the everyday challenges of Christians and non-Christians alike? Our young people are confronted with multiple distractionsfrom media, their friends, and their musicso we have programming thats designed to refocus them. Pure Choices is our program devoted to sexual purity. Were not afraid to handle delicate issues, because young and old alike are dealing with them. According to an article in the American Journal of Public Health, the prevalence of tobacco use among urban, inner city African American youth ages 1824 is alarmingly high. In some cities its as high as 60 percent! In keeping with our mission of sharing the gospel and providing tools for living, Dare to Dream recently produced a six-part smoking cessation series, Kickin the Habit, hosted by Ragine Edwards. Moving Forward One of our goals is to increase evangelism in the inner cities. We would like to take a remote truck and televise evangelistic campaigns around the country. We may even come to your church! But we cant do this without your help. Recently we were blessed to get Dare to Dream into a large juve-

What an opportunity, and were excited about duplicating this around the country. Over and over again I hear how Dare to Dreams programming is meeting the needs of people across many cultures. However, weve reached a point where we cannot move forward without your support. We need a remote truck to produce programs on location. We need more staff to develop and produce programs. And finally, we need to be on cable television. I

truly believe God will open those doors for usif we move forward. So how can you help? Contact your local cable company and ask them to include Dare to Dream in their lineup.

Nikki Anderson is the administrative assistant for 3ABN Radio.

Weve been blessed to be there from the beginning with most of these stations. How exciting it all was! I remember when we began organizing our first training school for applicants who wanted to learn how to run an LPFM radio station. Our first session was held in December 2001, just seven months after the last LPFM filing window in May. It lasted for two and a half days, and we quickly realized that wasnt nearly enough, so we eventually offered four full days of instruction. It was still a crash course on the basics, but it gave us more time to impart necessary information, and a lot more time to grasp it! Just last month we held an LPFM radio informational meeting during our 3ABN Spring Camp Meeting that was well attended! We met and discussed the application process with many who are interested in exploring this evangelism tool to reach their families,

friends, and neighbors. Were planning more training schools for those who receive a construction permit in the upcoming filing period, too. If you are seriously considering applying for a construction permit to build a low-power FM radio station this fall, please contact us. We have packets of information available on the type of programming 3ABN Radio offers, as well as the services we can provide our affiliates. Well be happy to talk with you about getting started, and send you one of these packets to share with others who are interested in being part of this exciting adventure with God! Were so blessed to have such an extensive family tree, and we look forward to grafting in many new branches as it continues to grow and bear fruit! Will your new LPFM radio station be joining us soon?

The third was just held this past April with Pastor Robert Costa, and tens of thousands watched his series entitled, A Future with Hope.

This marked the first time the local churches took such a big step of faith in organizing an event of this magnitude, and rich blessings were received. The series was entitled, Transformed by His Spirit, and God used Pastor Portes to preach a message that kept them coming to hear more, night after night. Im reminded of the words of Jesus in Luke 15:7, I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. Please remember all those who made decisions to follow Jesus during these evangelistic campaigns!

a criminal past. Our God forgives, and wants to prosper us with His Divine Plan for our lives. He doesnt care about our past. In fact, He can take whatever has happened to us, and whatever weve done, and use it to make us better. He lets us know that He has a future for us that is exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ask or think! about the molestation, and was subsequently removed from the only place that hed ever felt loved. Then he fell into crime, and ended up in jail. But God doesnt forget about us! His eye never wavers, and His hand is always there! After a series of providential events, this young man found Jesus and is now a seminary student. Hes passionate about the saving grace of Jesus.

Reaching the
ot long ago, our country experienced a terrorist act. On a Monday morning in Boston, three people were killed and 170 injured by an explosive left at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. That day started just like any other day, but ended in despair, pain, and loss. It was said that the perpetrators sole purpose was to maim the victims.
Dr. Yvonne Lewis is a naturopathic doctor, author, lecturer, singer, and the General Manager of 3ABNs Dare to Dream Network for urban audiences.

Every day in our inner cities there are casualties from violent encountersoften not perpetrated by strangers, but by those from the same neighborhoods! What a travesty! How hopeless it must sometimes feel to those who are trapped in their circumstances! Hope Dare to Dream offers hope to those that need a way out. We offer hope through Jesus, and through practical tools for living. We broadcast Free Indeed and The New Journey to encourage those who are caught up in crime, or who have

Triumphant We have positive role models of young men and women that are on fire for God on Dare to Dream Network. Many have undergone heavy trials, but have emerged triumphant in Christ, prepared through His Word to meet the challenges that confront them. Recently, on The New Journey program, Pastor Marquis Johns interviewed a young man who had suffered a terrible life! As a child, he was unwanted by his parents, grandmother, aunts, and uncles. He bounced around from one foster home to another, hoping to find love and acceptance. When he finally landed in a foster home where the father was kind and giving, he was molested by the mother! He had to tell his foster father

God doesnt forget about us! His eye never wavers, and His hand is always there!
Testimonies like this are what Dare to Dream is all about! Were currently making arrangements to broadcast in some correctional facilities, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who would not otherwise know Him. As I think about the terrorist act in Boston, I am aware of the fact that the terrorists are like satan [sic]. He tries to maim and destroy us anything to keep us from the finish line. But Jesus, our Savior and hero, will bring us to victory through the power of the Holy Spirit, and we can all be winners!

Hey kids, check out this fireworks craft! 3abn.org/kidscrafts

i Kids! Arent Fourth of July fireworks exciting? When I was a little girl our family would celebrate Independence Day by setting off firecrackers on the hill behind our house. Wed start with sparklers, then the men would set off the bottle rockets, whirligigs, and shooting stars! Id jump when firecrackers popped, and scream as the bottle rockets screamed back at me. One year, Uncle Bill lit the last shooting star and it went off at a crazy angle, close to us as we walked down the hill. Suddenly, a flaming ball of shooting sparks shot between Auntie Flos feet! She screamed, and it was so comical to see a grown woman prancing around as the thing kept spinning around her. It seemed like it had eyes and really was chasing her! Uncle Bill didnt know it was a dud, and luckily, no one got hurt. But as much fun as fireworks are, theyre nothing compared to Jesus Second Coming! The Bible says nothing we can ever imagine will be as good as that! He has really put His whole heart and mind into getting our Welcome Home party ready for us, and His fireworks are just the beginning of it all! Arent you excited? I am! Lets make a promise to each other to be there, okay? I love you so much!

Testimony
Revenge! The years that followed this episode were marked by what seemed like an endless legal battle to serve justice in this complicated case, and meanwhile, another story was developing. Miguel Cceres, Sr., the father of the man killed that afternoon, made a solemn promise to himself. He would not stop until justice was served. He would avenge his sons death. He would kill Javier Pagan himself when he was released from jail, as he awaited his sentence! Mr. Cceres world became ever blacker with hatred and sadness. As he thought of how to kill Javier, the stress ate away at his body, but he didnt care. Finally, as his resentment reached a critical point, his heart gave out on him and he suffered a heart attack that nearly ended his life. Another Saturday But God had a different plan, and another Saturday afternoon changed his life. While he lay in his hospital bed recovering from his heart attack, a group of ladies from the Las Piedras Seventh-day Adventist Church came by to visit and pray with the patients. After their visit, one of them took the time to contact Mr. Cceres family, and later visited them. She also continued to ask God to take the hate and sadness from his heart. Meanwhile, 3ABN was working

with the Puerto Rican church leaders to broadcast a massive evangelistic series entitled, A Future With Hope with Pastor Robert Costa. 3ABN would soon carry the series live from the very city where this tragedy had occurred, and the lady who visited the Cceres family didnt waste any time in bringing them an invitation to attend. By Gods grace, Mr. Cceres accepted her invitation and began attending the meetings. God wanted this man for His own, and by His grace, the Holy Spirit touched his heart and converted him! During one of Pastor Costas altar calls, he gave his heart to Jesus and came forward for prayer.

t was just another sunny afternoon on the busy streets of Humacao, a city on the southeastern side of the Isla del Encanto (Enchanted Island), as many like to describe Puerto Rico. It was Saturday, August 11, 2007, and what happened that day would impact many lives with sorrow and sadness. An absurd misunderstanding between Humacao police officer Javier Pagan, and a well-known biker, Miguel Cceres, would end in the tragic death of a husband and father of a ten-year-old boy. The struggle between the two that ended with Miguels death reached a worldwide audience after a bystander recorded the crucial moments in which the police officer unloaded his firearm on his victim, who was already down on the ground. The footage filled the following hours as news outlets and TV networks from all over the island and the world showed the graphic images of the two men fighting, surrounded by a multitude of people who witnessed the events in disbelief.
Jorge Jaque is the production manager for 3ABN Latino. He is a happy father of two children. He and his wife, Lynette, moved to 3ABN from the Pacific Northwest.

As he thought of how to kill Javier, the stress ate away at his body, but he didnt care.
Today, Miguel Cceres, Sr. is a new man. Although the life of a young man was tragically taken, his father now has a new life in Jesus Christ! He eagerly shares his testimony at prayer meetings or with anyone who will listen, and by the time you receive this magazine, Miguel will be baptized as the newest member of the Las Piedras Seventh-day Adventist Church. God has truly transformed his life, bringing him out of darkness into the marvelous light of His love!

by Carolina Bonilla

was 18, living in Massachusetts, and my life was full of problems. I didnt know where I was going. My little brother was sick. My parents separation was very painful. And I was lost. I had many doubts about God. Id always believed He existed, but I knew something was missing. There were times I grew tired of religion. Where was the God who could part the seas? Finally, I got on my knees. Lord, why is my life so empty? What are Your plans for me? If You want me to serve You, then send me to a place where people call and ask me about You. But please take me out of here! Wherever You send me, Ill go.

God
Time
I was stunned. Whats the job description? Well, people call from Latin America, asking for programs and recipes. They also have prayer requests, and some even want Bible studies. Basically, they call asking us about God. Okay, Ill send it today. I cant imagine my expression at that moment. Megan, I think God just answered my prayer. If its His will, Ill start a new life in three weeks! Arriving home, I asked the Lord again to show me His will. Reaching for my Bible, it opened randomly to Genesis 12. Now the Lord had said to Abram: Get out of your country, from your family and from your fathers house, to a land that I will show you. I will bless youand you shall be a blessing.

DIDNT Waste

Finally, I got on my knees. Lord, why is my life so empty? What are Your plans for me?
Suddenly I felt frightened. Are You asking this from me, Lord? You know my parents wont be happy. Ill have to leave Mami by herself, and Papi isnt a Christian; hell flip if I tell him Im leaving school to serve You! But if You really want me to go, please heal my brother, and make my parents supportive. No Way! I ran downstairs. Mami, Im moving! Ill be starting work at 3ABN in three weeks. She stared at me for a moment. Well, mi hijita, youre not a child anymore, and though it breaks my heart, if its Gods will, I wont stop you.

The Call God didnt waste any time! The very next day, on the way to Newport, Rhode Island, I told my best friend how Id asked God to send me away. Just as I told her this, my sister Teresa called me, very excited. Carol! A family who works here at 3ABN is moving to Mexico in three weeks. Ive already spoken to my boss. Can you send your rsum today?

What? I called my father next. Al, Papi! Guess what? Ive decided to take a break from school for a year, and serve God full-time. Im moving to Illinois with my sister in three weeks. Thats wonderful! he said. I fully support your decision. No way! My last three weeks flew by and I moved to southern Illinoisa place Id never imagined God would send me. This was the beginning of my version of Abrams storyand I love it! Ive cried so much. At times Ive wanted to run back to Mami, but God assures me He wants me here, for now. Hes strengthened my faith through visible miracles too numerous to write and He also healed my baby brother! Ive learned to trust Him, and follow wherever He leads.

These blood changes would always be fatal, were it not for the efficient design of the biochemical mechanisms, buffer systems, storage depots, and other influences that bring blood to its proper physical and chemical status quo within a very short period. A meal not only has building up features, but also taxes and ages the body if its so heavy that it exceeds the positive effects. Excessive vitamins or minerals cause an immediate imbalance of the bodys economy of nutrients. For example, calcium and phosphorus maintain a seesaw type of relationship with one another. If one takes a lot of calcium, the phosphorus goes down, and vice versa; excessive protein requires vitamins A and B12 in multiples of their usual requirement; and too much protein causes excessive loss of calcium. ulus feeling somewhat like caffeine. However, this is no recommendation, since it puts a tax on the body, expressed eventually as fatigue, weakness, or unpleasantness. Then he begins to feel down again, particularly if he hasnt corrected the bad health habit that caused the problem in the first place.

V i ta m i n supplements

Excessive vitamins or minerals cause an immediate imbalance of the bodys economy of nutrients.
Remembering how much better he felt at first under the stimulus of that vitamin, he now fancies he has a deficiency in some other vitamin or mineral, and purchases another supplement on the recommendation of a friend. Once again he feels stimulated, then ill, and the round is repeated again. Soon hes spending as much on supplements as on food! Puzzled, he finally seeks medical counsel and is surprised to feel better when the physician tapers him off all vitamin and mineral preparations. Its better to let the body be its own biochemist, since its impossible to reach a balance through the pharmacologic juggling of nutrients that should be obtained from food. Receive all the nutrients your body needs to maintain health and recover from illness by eating generously of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grainsand sparingly of any other food.

uestions often arise about vitamin supplements. Some advise taking them, saying theres been a leaching of basic nutrients from the soil; that commercial production and marketing involve quick growing of plants; that harvesting before full development has occurred; and that cold storage for distant transportation results in nutrient deterioration. So isnt it wise to take vitamin supplements to ensure our bodies have a sufficient supply? I believe that humans fit fairly well into their environmentone especially designed for us by our Creator; and even though our food may not be as nutrient-rich as it once was, it still contains sufficient vitamins and minerals to supply all our needs.

Recipe

INGREDIENTS
6 cups brown or white sticky short grain rice, cooked 6 sheets roasted seaweed for sushi 1 bunch spinach 23 carrots cucumber 1 red bell pepper 12 avocados block firm or extra firm tofu 1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds

y memories of kimbap are always associated with road trips, picnics, or school, since my mother often put it in my lunchbox. At first I was embarrassed to bring this popular Korean dish made of steamed sticky rice, vegetables, and protein rolled in roasted seaweed to school, so I had a veggie burger every day, instead. However, by the time I was in high school I was sick of burgers and asked my mother to just make me normal Korean food. That made her very happy, because it was so much easier, tastier, healthierand economical! Instead of wrinkled noses, my lunches now attracted many curious eyes. Before long I began asking Mom to make extra, because all my friends wanted to eat it, too! Kimbap is a finger food that requires no utensils, but you can always use chopsticks! Try dipping kimbap slices in soy sauce with lemon juice and dissolved wasabi paste. Its so good!

sesame oil for taste salt for taste bamboo sushi mat

Optional: soy sauce, lemon juice, and wasabi paste for sauce. Other Filling Options: purple cabbage, spring onions, fresh or seasoned perilla leaves, seasoned and sauted shitake mushrooms, any veggie meat, seasoned burdock root, pickled daikon radish, braised kimchi, vegetable tempura.

When Character Defects Wont Budge


If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Stuck!

by Bobby Davis

ere I am, Lord, asking forgiveness. Again. I dont know why I cant seem to overcome this character defect. Im so tired of trying, I want to just give up! But You wont let me. I really need some answers. Do You know how hard this is? Yes, my child, I know. Ive watched you struggle. Then, Lord, why do You let me take it back? Why dont You just keep me from grabbing back old behavior? (Pause.) Never mind. I know why. Its because You love us enough to give us free choice, right? Youre right. Then tell me something I dont know, Lord. What am I doing wrong? I ask forgiveness again and again. Im afraid Youre very tired of hearing me ask. In fact, sometimes I wonder if Youve tuned me out. I know I sound like Im whining, but I really dont want to live this way. And another thing, the other day I was talking to someone about having You remove the character defects that keep me from being useful to You. Then he said something that didnt make sense. He said, Maybe God isnt ready. Maybe He thinks He can use your defects for some good purpose. Thats sounds crazy! You didnt create me with flaws, and You dont want me to stay this way, right? Is it

just a matter of Your timing? No (God chuckles). My time was a long time ago! Then why wont you take this from me? Im trying. Then why does it seem that as soon as I place something in Your hands, its right back in mine? (Long pause.) My precious child, you come to Me with your broken toy and beg Me to fix it for you. Why, oh why, wont you fix it? you cry. So I answer you the only way I can: I cant fix it if you wont let it go. (Oh.)

What am I doing wrong? I ask forgiveness again and again. Im afraid Youre very tired of hearing me ask.
You mean its all about me letting go? Yes. Soif I humbly ask You to remove a character defect and it doesnt go away, thentheres either something wrong with my prayeror something wrong with my willingness. Is that right? Yes. I get it. (Very long pause.) (Deep sigh.) Thank you, Lord. Youre welcome! I love you, Lord. I know. I love you, too!

Big Boy

A Prayer for

3ABN Pastoral Prayer Line: 800-752-3226 My ex-daughter-in-law told me shed found her best pets at the dog pound, so I pampered him that night and took him the next day. The folks at the pound were very nice, but they carefully explained their policy of putting animals down within a week if no one adopted themno exceptions! But I just knew someone would fall in love with him immediately, so I left him there on a Thursday with high hopes. The weekend came and went, he continued. Monday, Tuesday, still no call from the pound. Early Wednesday morning I phoned and soon I discovered that no one had shown any interest. My heart sunk. This could be the end of Big Boy. So I got on my knees and pleaded with the Lord to find him a good home that very daya home with at least seven acres, so he could run and play.

ays voice sounded weak on the phone. They said I should go home and wait to die, he said with a sigh. I have a softball-sized tumor in my colon, and its cancerous. My age and heart condition make the risk too high for surgery, so the doctor arranged for hospice care, and said I should get my affairs in order. Well, Ive done that, he continued, and Im ready to go to sleep in Jesus. But Im in pain, and need prayer. This precious man has called me monthly for years. At 89, Jay Dean Howe has no family connections and leads a rather lonely life. He calls 3ABNs prayer line for various matters, and always phones later to share how God directed him. So what could I say now? Jays Prayer Request After a few words of comfort, he surprised me. Id like to share something else before we pray, he said. I want to tell you about my dog, Big Boy. Hes been my constant companion for the last four years, and while Ive had many pets in my life, none were as loving, attentive, and intelligent as him. When my illness caused me to start staggering and falling, I J.D. Quinn, is 3ABNs Pastoral Ministries Department realized I couldnt take care of him Manager. He combines his formal education in anymore. So I called everyone I counseling and administration with his love for Gods knew, pleading with them to take Word and passion to help others. him, but nobody would.

Gods Amazing Answer And now for the heartwarming part. Although Jay didnt know it, within a few moments of his prayer, a woman drove past the animal shelter and felt suddenly impressed to go in and look at the dogs. A puppy or two caught Teresas eye, but not Big Boy, the fully-grown Doberman/Chow mix. Later she came back with her husband, Ronny Shelton. He wanted a big dog, and as he knelt down, Big Boy ran and practically jumped into his arms, wagging his tail and giving Ronny a lick. An immediate bond was formed, and just 45 minutes after Jays prayer, the Sheltons were calling to ask if Big Boy would be gentle with their grandchildren, ducks, and chickens. They agreed to take Big Boy home for a weekend trial, and the following Monday, Teresa called Jay to ask about Big Boys normal diet. God had answered Jays prayer for Big Boy in every detail. He was adopted by a loving familywho live on seven acres! God multiplied His mercy to Jay, too. We anointed him on February 25, and Jay has been pain-free ever since! He also gets regular visits with his very special friend, Big Boy.

Sister

Straying from Gods plan for marriage multiplies Jacobs woesexponentially!


and Rachel names him Naphtali (My wrestling), boasting, I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed. infertility. Leah agrees to give them to her in exchange for a night with Jacob, and as a result she bears Issachar (Wages), saying, God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband. She bears another son, Zebulun(Habitation), stating, Now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. However, God remembers Rachel, and she bears Joseph (He will add). Triumphantly she proclaims, God has taken away my reproach, and predicts, The Lord shall add to me another son. Her reference to God now is Lord, indicating shes finally on more intimate terms with Him. Although Jacob now has 11 sons and at least one daughter (Dinah), he must live with two concubines and two jealous and unhappy wivesone who feels unloved, and another who craves more children. He also has a ruthless father-in-law who was constantly trying to take advantage of him. But thats a story for another day.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

by Dr. R. Dean Davis

aban gives Jacob his two daughters in marriage and follows the ancient custom of giving each of them a personal assistant from among his maids. But soon its clear that Jacob loves Rachel more than Leah, and this bigamous marriage sparks a lifelong conflict between the sisters. Even the names of their children reflect their hopesand rivalry!

time my husband will become attached to me, because I have born him three sons. However, she still doesnt win her husbands love. Her fourth son she names, Judah (Praise). Notice her focus changes from her problem, to God, as she says, Now I will praise the Lord (literally, Yahweh, indicating a strong relationship with Him).

Following a Bad Example

Looking for Love

Envy

Our merciful Lord sees that Leah is not loved, so He gives her a son whom she names Reuben (literally, Behold, a son!) and cries, Now therefore, my husband will love me. She names her second son Simeon (Heard), saying, Because the Lord has heard that I am unloved He has given me this son also. Her third son she names Levi (Attached), saying, Now this

Each time Leah conceives, Rachels envy grows. Give me children or else I die! she cries. But Jacob answers hotly, Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb? Soon Rachel repeats Sarahs mistake from years ago by giving Jacob her maid. Bilhah bears a son, and Rachel calls him Dan (Judge). God has judged my case, she says, and He has also heard my voice and given me a son. Notice she uses the Hebrew word Elohim for God. This name emphasizes His power, rather than the intimate Yahweh used by Leah. Bilhah bears a second son

After seeing Rebekahs maid bearing her children, Leah makes the same mistake and gives her maid to Jacob. Zilpah bears a son, whom Leah names Gad (translated by some from a post-biblical tradition as, a troop; however, the Septuagint, a better ancient Greek translation, gives it as Good fortune). Leah names Zilpahs second son Asher (Happy), saying, I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed. During the wheat harvest, Leahs son, Ruben, finds some mandrakes, whose roots are used by pagans to this day in magic rituals. The ancients believed they would stimulate sexual desire and promote fertility, so he brings them to his mother. Seeing this, Rachel begs for the mandrakes, hoping to remove her
