2 And Jacob’s anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, a“Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3 So she said, “Here is amy maid Bilhah; go in to her, band she will bear a child on my knees, cthat I also may have children by her.”
4 Then she gave him Bilhah her maid aas wife, and Jacob went in to her.
5 And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6 Then Rachel said, “God has ajudged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son.” Therefore she called his name1 Dan.
7 And Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Then Rachel said, “With1 great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed.” So she called his name2 Naphtali.
