30When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, Give me children, or I shall die! 2Jacob became very angry with Rachel and said, Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb? 3Then she said, Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees and that I too may have children through her. 4So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife; and Jacob went in to her. 5And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6Then Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son; therefore she named him Dan.* 7Rachels maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8Then Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled* with my sister, and have prevailed; so she named him Naphtali.
