Genesis 30:1-24 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living. ² But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit? ³ Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her. ⁴ So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. ⁵ And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son. ⁶ Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan. ⁷ And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son. ⁸ And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali. ⁹ When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife. ¹⁰ And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son. ¹¹ And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad. ¹² And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son. ¹³ And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher. ¹⁴ Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits. ¹⁵ But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits. ¹⁶ In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night. ¹⁷ And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son. ¹⁸ Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar. ¹⁹ And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son. ²⁰ And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun. ²¹ After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah. ²² Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile. ²³ And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame. ²⁴ And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.
