Genesis 30:1-13 ▼

1 And Rachel will see that she shall not bring forth to Jacob, and Rachel will envy her sister, and will say to Jacob, Give me sons, and if not, I die.

2 And Jacob's anger will burn at Rachel, and he will say, Am I instead of God, who kept back from thee the fruit of the belly?

3 And she will say, Behold my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she shall bring forth upon my knees, and I also shall be built from her.

4 And she will give to him Bilhah her maid for a wife, and Jacob will go in to her.

5 And Bilhah will conceive and will bear to Jacob a son.

6 And Rachel will say, God judged me and also heard my voice, and he will give to me a son; for this she called his name Dan.

7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid will yet again conceive and bare a second son to Jacob.

8 And Rachel will say, The wrestlings of God I wrestled with my sister; also I was able. And she will call his name Naphtali.

9 And Leah will see that she stood from bringing forth, and she will take Zilpah her maid and will give her to Jacob for a wife.

10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, will bear to Jacob a son.

11 And Leah will say, In good fortune: and she will call his name Gad.

12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, will bear a second son to Jacob.

13 And Leah will say, In my happiness, for the daughters will pronounce me happy; and she will call his name Asher.
