New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.
⁸ So Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed." And she named him Naphtali.
⁹ When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took her maid Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
¹⁰ Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
¹¹ Then Leah said, "How fortunate!" So she named him Gad.
