In Context

1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, |Give me children, or else I will die.|

2 Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, |Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?|

3 She said, |Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.|

4 She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6 Rachel said, |God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.| Therefore called she his name Dan.
