Since Jacob had fallen in love with ¹  Rachel, he said, “I’ll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel.”

The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, were Dan and Naphtali.

The sons of Rachel the wife of Jacob: Joseph and Benjamin.

Jacob ¹  had marital relations ²  with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban ³  for seven more years. ⁴ 

Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep loudly. ¹ 

So Jacob sent a message for Rachel and Leah ¹  to come to the field ²  where his flocks were. ³ 

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). ¹ 

“Is he well?” ¹  Jacob asked. They replied, “He is well. ²  Now look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”

While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was tending them. ¹ 

(Now Laban had two daughters; ¹  the older one was named Leah, and the younger one Rachel.

Leah’s eyes were tender, ¹  but Rachel had a lovely figure and beautiful appearance.) ² 

So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. ¹  But they seemed like only a few days to him ²  because his love for her was so great. ³ 

(Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.) ¹ 

When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, ¹  he enabled her to become pregnant ²  while Rachel remained childless.

Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, became pregnant again and gave Jacob another son. ¹ 

Then Rachel said, “I have fought a desperate struggle with my sister, but I have won.” ¹  So she named him Naphtali. ² 

Then God took note of ¹  Rachel. He paid attention to her and enabled her to become pregnant. ² 

Then Rachel and Leah replied to him, “Do we still have any portion or inheritance ¹  in our father’s house?

While Laban had gone to shear his sheep, ¹  Rachel stole the household idols ²  that belonged to her father.
