1 When Rachel saw that she bore no children for Jacob, Rachel was jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me sons—if there are none, I’ll die!”
2 But Jacob became furious with Rachel and said, “Am I, instead of God, the one who withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3 So she said, “Here’s my maid-servant Bilhah. Go to her and let her give birth on my knees, so that from her I may also build a family.”
4 Then she gave her maid-servant Bilhah to him for a wife, and Jacob went to her.
5 Bilhah became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
6 So Rachel said, “God has judged my cause and also heard my voice—and given me a son.” Therefore she named him Dan.
7 Then Rachel’s female servant became pregnant again and gave birth to a second son for Jacob.
