1 When Rachel realized that she could bear Jacob no children, Rachel became jealous of her sister and said to Jacob, "Give me children! If you don’t, I may as well be dead."
2 Jacob was angry at Rachel and said, "Do you think I’m God? God alone has kept you from giving birth!"
3 She said, "Here’s my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, and she will give birth for me. Because of her, I will also have children."
4 So Rachel gave her servant Bilhah to Jacob as his wife, and he slept with her.
5 Bilhah became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
6 Rachel said, "God has judged in my favor, heard my voice, and given me a son." So she named him Dan.
7 Rachel’s servant Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to a second son for Jacob.
