4 So she gave him her slave Bilhah as his wife, and Jacob slept with her.

5 Bilhah became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Jacob.

6 Rachel said, |Now God has judged in my favor. He has heard my prayer and has given me a son.| So she named him Dan [He Judges].

7 Rachel's slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to a second son for Jacob.

8 Rachel said, |I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won!| So she named him Naphtali [My Struggle].

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

10 Leah's slave Zilpah gave birth to a son for Jacob.

11 Leah said, |I've been lucky!| So she called him Gad [Luck].

12 Leah's slave Zilpah gave birth to her second son for Jacob.

13 Leah said, |I've been blessed! Women will call me blessed.| So she named him Asher [Blessing].
