1 Rachel saw that she couldn't have any children by Jacob. So she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!"
2 Jacob became angry with her. He said, "Do you think I'm God? He's the one who has kept you from having children."
3 Then she said, "Here's my servant Bilhah. Make love to her so that she can have children for me. Then I too can have a family through her."
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob made love to her.
5 And Bilhah became pregnant. She had a son by him.
6 Then Rachel said, "God has stood up for my rights. He has listened to my prayer and given me a son." So she named him Dan.
7 Rachel's servant Bilhah became pregnant again. She had a second son by Jacob.
