Genesis 30:1-4 ▼

1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, |Give me children, or else I will die.|

2 Then Jacob became very angry with Rachel, and he said, |Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?|

3 She said, |Look, my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so that she will bear children for me, that I too may have children through her.|

4 So she gave him Bilhah her servant as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
