Genesis 30:1-10

1And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

2And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in 1God's stead, who has withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?

3And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up by her.

4And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6And Rachel said, 2God has done me justice, and has also heard my voice, and given me a son; therefore she called his name Dan.

7And Bilhah Rachel's maidservant again conceived, and bore Jacob a second son.

8And Rachel said, Wrestlings of 3God have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali.

9And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.

10And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.
