DanRachel
Prayer

4 So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,

5 and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.

Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

7 And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

8 Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
