Genesis 30:1-8

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.
