Genesis 30:1-5 ▼

1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she envied her sister. “Give me sons, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.

2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld children from you?”

3 Then she said, “Here is my slave Bilhah. Go sleep with her, and she’ll bear children for me so that through her I too can build a family.”

4 So Rachel gave her slave Bilhah to Jacob as a wife, and he slept with her.

5 Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
