And she conceived yet again,
and bare a son saying: Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she
called his name Iuda, and left bearing.
Chapter .xxx.
When Rahel saw that she bare Iacob no children, she envied her
sister and said unto Iacob: give me children, or else I am but
dead. Then was Iacob wroth with Rahel saying: Am I in God's
{godes} stead which keepeth from thee the fruit of thy womb? Then
she said: here is my maid Bilha: go in unto her, that she may bear
upon my lap, that I may be increased by her. And she gave him
Bilha her handmaid to wife. And Iacob went in unto her: And Bilha
conceived and bare Iacob a son. Then said Rahel: God hath given
sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given
me a son. Therefore called she him Dan. And Bilha Rahel's maid
conceived again, and bare Iacob another son. And Rahel said. God
is turned, and I have made a change with my sister, and have
gotten the upper hand. And she called his name Naphtali. When Lea
saw that she had left bearing, she took Silpha her maid, and gave
her Iacob to wife. And Silpha Lea's maid bare Iacob a son. Then
said Lea: Good luck: and called his name Gad. And Silpha Lea's
maid bare Iacob another son. Then said Lea: happy am I, for the
daughters will call me blessed.
