The sons of Jacob
(1) AND WHEN Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
(2) And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
(3) And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah; go in unto her, and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
(4) And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife, and Jacob went in unto her.
(5) And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
(6) And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
(7) And Bilhah Rachel's maid: conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
ADDENDUM:
Do you know that Jacob had twelve sons, how many of them are for Rachael?.
