1 When Rachel (little lamb) saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob (he grasps the heel), she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob. 2 Jacob (he grasps the heel) became angry with Rachel (little lamb) and said, “Am I in the place of God {Elohim}, who has withheld children from you?” 3 Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah (troubled). Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me \bear children on my knees/, so that through her I too can build a family.” 4 So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah (troubled) as a wife, and he (he grasps the heel) slept with her, Genesis 30:1-4, Berean Annotated Bible.
