1Now when RachelH7354 sawH7200 that 1she had not borneH3205 JacobH3290 any childrenH3205, 2she becameH7065 jealousH7065 of her sisterH269; and she saidH559 to JacobH3290, “3GiveH3051 me childrenH1121, or elseH518H369 I am going to dieH4191.” 2Then Jacob’sH3290 angerH639 burnedH2734 against RachelH7354, and he saidH559, “Am I inH8478 the placeH8478 ofH8478 GodH430, whoH834 has 4withheldH4513 from you the fruitH6529 of the wombH990?” 3Then she saidH559, “5HereH2009 is my femaleH519 slaveH519 BilhahH1090: haveH935 relationsH935 withH935 her that she may 6giveH3205 birthH3205 7on my kneesH1290, so that 89by her I tooH1571 may obtainH1129 a childH1129.” 4So 10she gaveH5414 him her slaveH8198 BilhahH1090 as a wifeH802, and JacobH3290 hadH935 relationsH935 withH935 her. 5BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029 and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121. 6Then RachelH7354 saidH559, “GodH430 has 1112vindicatedH1777 me, and has indeedH1571 heardH8085 my voiceH6963 and has givenH5414 me a sonH1121.” ThereforeH5921H3651 she namedH7121 him 13DanH1835. 7And Rachel’sH7354 slaveH8198 BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029 againH5750 and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121. 8So RachelH7354 saidH559, “With 14mightyH430 wrestlingH5319 I have 15wrestledH6617 with my sisterH269, and I have indeedH1571 prevailedH3201.” And she namedH7121 him NaphtaliH5321.
