Genesis 30:8
Excerpted from: Joseph: A Saga of Excellence (Part One)

Again, Bilhah conceived by Jacob. When the child was born, Rachel named him Naphtali, which means "wrestlings"—reflecting what was in Rachel's mind in regards to her sister. She was wrestling with her. Now, I do not believe that they were actually rolling around in the dirt—like Jacob did with God, a little bit later. I do not think she meant that at all. But she is talking about the wrestlings that were going on in her mind—the emotions, the mental state—because of the envy that existed between her and Leah, because Leah was bearing children and she was not. She felt that if she would just have a child, then she would be fulfilled as a woman and as a wife.
