Genesis 30:1-13 (New Revised Standard)
1
When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die!"
2
Jacob became very angry with Rachel and said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
3
Then she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, that she may bear upon my knees and that I too may have children through her."
4
So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife; and Jacob went in to her.
5
And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
6
Then Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son"; therefore she named him Dan. a
7
Rachel's maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8
Then Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled b with my sister, and have prevailed"; so she named him Naphtali.
9
When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
10
Then Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
11
And Leah said, "Good fortune!" so she named him Gad. c
12
Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.
13
And Leah said, "Happy am I! For the women will call me happy"; so she named him Asher. d
