New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 29
³² Leah conceived and bore a son and named him Reuben, for she said, "Because the Lord has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."
³³ Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, "Because the Lord has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.
³⁴ She conceived again and bore a son and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.
³⁵ And she conceived again and bore a son and said, "This time I will praise the Lord." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
Genesis 30
¹ Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die."
² Then Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
³ She said, "Here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her that she may bear on my knees, that through her I too may have children."
⁴ So she gave him her maid Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
⁵ Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
⁶ Then Rachel said, "God has vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son." Therefore she named him Dan.
⁷ Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
