English Standard Version
Genesis 30:1-8
1When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"
2Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
3Then she said, "Here is my servant Bilhah; go in to her, so that she may give birth on my behalf, that even I may have children through her."
4So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
5And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.
7Rachel's servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8Then Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed." So she called his name Naphtali.
