Genesis 30:4-13 ▼

4 So Rachel gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob had marital relations with her.

5 Bilhah became pregnant and gave Jacob a son.

6 Then Rachel said, |God has vindicated me. He has responded to my prayer and given me a son.| That is why she named him Dan.

7 Bilhah, Rachel's servant, became pregnant again and gave Jacob another son.

8 Then Rachel said, |I have fought a desperate struggle with my sister, but I have won.| So she named him Naphtali.

9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

10 Soon Leah's servant Zilpah gave Jacob a son.

11 Leah said, |How fortunate!| So she named him Gad.

12 Then Leah's servant Zilpah gave Jacob another son.

13 Leah said, |How happy I am, for women will call me happy!| So she named him Asher.
