24Rachel’s sons were Joseph and Benjamin. 25The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s female servant, were Dan and Naphtali, and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s female servant, were Gad and Asher. These are Jacob’s sons, who were born to him in Paddan-aram. 27Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriat-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. 28Now Isaac’s days were 180 years.
