5. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6. And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7. And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8. And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9. When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
