When Rachel saw that she wasn't having any children, she became jealous of her sister. "Give me children, or I'll die!" she exclaimed to Jacob.
2
Jacob flew into a rage. "Am I God?" he asked. "He is the only one able to give you children!"
3
Then Rachel told him, "Sleep with my servant, Bilhah, and she will bear children for me."
4
So Rachel gave him Bilhah to be his wife, and Jacob slept with her.
5
Bilhah became pregnant and presented him with a son.
6
Rachel named him Dan, a for she said, "God has vindicated me! He has heard my request and given me a son."
