Genesis 30:1-3

Modern English Version

30 When Rachel saw that she could not give Jacob children, she became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”

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

³ Then she said, “Here is my maid Bilhah. Have relations with her so that she may bear a child on my knees,^[a] so that I may also have children through her.”
