1. Rachel saw that she could not have children for Jacob, and she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!”
2. Jacob became angry with Rachel and asked, “Can I take the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
3. She said, “Here’s my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her. She can have children for me, and I can build a family for myself through her.”
4. So she gave him her slave Bilhah as his wife, and Jacob slept with her.
