Genesis 30:4-12
English Standard Version
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her. 5 And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 6 Then Rachel said, “God has (A)judged me, and has also heard my voice and given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.[a] 7 Rachel's servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. 8 Then Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings[b] I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” So she called his name (B)Naphtali.[c]
9 When Leah saw that she had ceased bearing children, she took her servant Zilpah and (C)gave her to Jacob as a wife. 10 Then Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, (D)“Good fortune has come!” so she called his name (E)Gad.[d] 12 Leah's servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.
