1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, 'Give me children, or else I will die.'
2 Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, 'Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?'
3 She said, 'Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.'
4 She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
