and she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I die.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-2.htm" target="_top"><b>2</b></a></span>Then Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-3.htm" target="_top"><b>3</b></a></span>She said, “Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her that she may bear on my knees, that through her I too may have children.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-4.htm" target="_top"><b>4</b></a></span>So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-5.htm" target="_top"><b>5</b></a></span>Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-6.htm" target="_top"><b>6</b></a></span>Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore she named him Dan. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-7.htm" target="_top"><b>7</b></a></span>Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-8.htm" target="_top"><b>8</b></a></span>So Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, <i>and</i> I have indeed prevailed.” And she named him Naphtali.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-9.htm" target="_top"><b>9</b></a></span>When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-10.htm" target="_top"><b>10</b></a></span>Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-11.htm" target="_top"><b>11</b></a></span>Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-12.htm" target="_top"><b>12</b></a></span>Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/genesis/30-13.htm" target="_top"><b>13</b></a></span>Then Leah said, “Happy am I!
