1 Rachel saw that she could not have children for Jacob, and she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, |Give me children, or I'll die!|

2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and asked, |Can I take the place of God, who has kept you from having children?|

3 She said, |Here's my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her. She can have children for me, and I can build a family for myself through her.|

4 So she gave him her slave Bilhah as his wife, and Jacob slept with her.
