Genesis 30:1-8
1Now when Rachel saw that 1she bore Jacob no children, 2she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, “3Give me children, or else I die.” 2Then Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has 4withheld from you the fruit of the womb?” 3She said, “5Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her that she may 6bear on my knees, that 78through her I too may have children.” 4So 9she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. 5Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6Then Rachel said, “God has 1011vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore she named him 12Dan. 7Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8So Rachel said, “With 13mighty wrestlings I have 14wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed.” And she named him Naphtali.
