Genesis 30:1-8

1And when RachelH7354 sawH7200 that she boreH3205 JacobH3290 no children, RachelH7354 enviedH7065 her sisterH269; and saidH559 to JacobH3290, GiveH3051 me childrenH1121, or elseH369 I dieH4191.

2And Jacob’sH3290 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against RachelH7354: and he saidH559, Am I in God’sH430 stead, who hath withheldH4513 from thee the fruitH6529 of the wombH990?

3And she saidH559, Behold my maidH519 BilhahH1090, go inH935 to her; and she shall bearH3205 upon my kneesH1290, that I may also have childrenH1129 by her.1

4And she gaveH5414 him BilhahH1090 her handmaidH8198 for a wifeH802: and JacobH3290 went inH935 to her.

5And BilhahH1090 conceivedH2029, and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a sonH1121.

6And RachelH7354 saidH559, GodH430 hath judgedH1777 me, and hath also heardH8085 my voiceH6963, and hath givenH5414 me a sonH1121: therefore she calledH7121 his nameH8034 DanH1835.2

7And BilhahH1090 Rachel’sH7354 maidH8198 conceivedH2029 again, and boreH3205 JacobH3290 a secondH8145 sonH1121.

8And RachelH7354 saidH559, With greatH430 wrestlingsH5319 have I wrestledH6617 with my sisterH269, and I have prevailedH3201: and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 NaphtaliH5321.34
