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.
6. And Raḥĕl said, “Elohim has rightly ruled my case, and has also heard my voice and given me a son.” So she called his name Dan.
7. And Raḥĕl’s female servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Ya‛aqoḇ a second son.
8. And Raḥĕl said, “With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and I have overcome.” So she called his name Naphtali.
9. And Lĕ’ah saw that she had ceased bearing, and she took Zilpah her female servant and gave her to Ya‛aqoḇ as wife.
