The Sons of Jacob

30 Now when Rachel saw that ^(A)she bore Jacob no children, ^[a]she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, “^(B)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 ^(C)withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

²² Then ^(A)God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and ^(B)opened her womb. ²³ So she conceived and bore a son and said, “God has ^(C)taken away my reproach.” ²⁴ She named him Joseph, saying, “^(D)May the Lord ^[a]give me another son.”
