Genesis 30:1–13

30Now when Rachel saw that ^ashe bore Jacob no children, Rachel ^benvied her sister, and said to Jacob, “Give me children, ^cor else I die!”

²And Jacob’s anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, ^d“Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

³So she said, “Here is ^emy maid Bilhah; go in to her, ^fand she will bear a child on my knees, ^gthat I also may ¹have children by her.” ⁴Then she gave him Bilhah her maid ^has wife, and Jacob went in to her. ⁵And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. ⁶Then Rachel said, “God has ⁱjudged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son.” Therefore she called his name ²Dan. ⁷And Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. ⁸Then Rachel said, “With ³great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed.” So she called his name ⁴Naphtali.

⁹When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid and ^jgave her to Jacob as wife. ¹⁰And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son. ¹¹Then Leah said, ⁵“A troop comes!” So she called his name ⁶Gad. ¹²And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. ¹³Then Leah said, “I am happy, for the daughters ^kwill call me blessed.” So she called his name ⁷Asher.
