1 And when Raḥĕl saw that she bore Ya‛aqoḇ no children, Raḥĕl envied her sister, and said to Ya‛aqoḇ, “Give me children, or else I am going to die!”
2 And Ya‛aqoḇ’s displeasure burned against Raḥĕl, and he said, “Am I in the place of Elohim, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3 And she said, “See, my female servant Bilhah; go in to her, and let her bear for me, and let me be built up from her as well.”
4 So she gave him Bilhah her female servant as wife, and Ya‛aqoḇ went in to her.
5 And Bilhah conceived and bore Ya‛aqoḇ a son.
6 And Raḥĕl said, “Elohim has rightly ruled my case, and has also heard my voice and given me a son.” So she called his name Dan.
7 And Raḥĕl’s female servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Ya‛aqoḇ a second son.
