1 Rachel noticed that she was not bearing children for Jacob, so because she envied her sister Leah, she told Jacob, |If you don't give me sons, I'm going to die!| 2 That made Jacob angry with Rachel, so he asked her, |Can I take God's place, who has not allowed you to conceive?| 3 Rachel responded, |Here's my handmaid Bilhah. Go have sex with her. She can bear children on my knees so I can have children through her.| 4 So Rachel gave Jacob her woman servant Bilhah to be his wife, and Jacob had sex with her.
