Genesis 30:1-9

Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA

1 But Rachel had not borne Jacob any children, and so she became jealous of her sister and said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I will die."

2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, "I can't take the place of God. He is the one who keeps you from having children."

3 She said, "Here is my slave Bilhah; sleep with her, so that she can have a child for me. In this way I can become a mother through her."

4 So she gave Bilhah to her husband, and he had intercourse with her.

5 Bilhah became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.

6 Rachel said, "God has judged in my favor. He has heard my prayer and has given me a son"; so she named him Dan.

7 Bilhah became pregnant again and bore Jacob a second son.

8 Rachel said, "I have fought a hard fight with my sister, but I have won"; so she named him Naphtali.

9 When Leah realized that she had stopped having children, she gave her slave Zilpah to Jacob as his wife.
