* **Bilhah...conceived again** - "Bilhah...became pregnant again"
* **and bore Jacob a second son** - "and gave birth to a second son for Jacob"

It is also a metaphor that compares a physical fight with Rachel's attempts to have a child like her sister has. It could be translated as "I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, Leah." (UDB) (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_idiom]] and [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
