Genesis 30:1-3

Good News Translation

30 But Rachel had not borne Jacob any children, and so she became jealous of her sister and said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”

² Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “I can't take the place of God. He is the one who keeps you from having children.”

³ She said, “Here is my slave Bilhah; sleep with her, so that she can have a child for me. In this way I can become a mother through her.”
