1. And when Raḥĕl saw that she bore Ya‛aqoḇ no children, Raḥĕl envied her sister, and said to Ya‛aqoḇ, “Give me children, or else I am going to die!”
2. And Ya‛aqoḇ’s displeasure burned against Raḥĕl, and he said, “Am I in the place of Elohim, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
3. And she said, “See, my female servant Bilhah; go in to her, and let her bear for me, and let me be built up from her as well.”
4. So she gave him Bilhah her female servant as wife, and Ya‛aqoḇ went in to her.
5. And Bilhah conceived and bore Ya‛aqoḇ a son.
