Dan and Naphtali

When 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.

2 

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

3 

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

4 

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

7 

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