Dan and Naphtali

Dan and Naphtali


30When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.


2Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”


3Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me,[fn] so that through her I too can build a family.”


4So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her, 5and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son. 6Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.[fn]


7And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.[fn]


30:3 Literally bear children on my knees

30:6 Dan means He has judged or He has vindicated.

30:8 Naphtali sounds like the Hebrew for wrestling.
