Genesis 30:3

Verse 3 of 43. The 30th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

1When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”

2Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

3She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”

4She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.

7Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
