(Genesis 30:2-3) "And Jacob's anger burned against Rachel." It is written, "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge" this is Abraham, (Genesis 16:2) "and Abram listened to the voice of Sarai"; "and fill his belly with the east wind" this is Jacob, "and Jacob's anger burned against Rachel." The Holy One, blessed be He, said to him: Is this how one answers the distressed? By your life, your sons are destined to stand before her son [Joseph]. "Who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb." She said: From me He has withheld; from you He has not withheld. She said to him: Did your father act this way toward your mother? Did he not gird his loins on her behalf [in prayer]? He said to her: That one had no children, but I have children. She said to him: And did your grandfather not have children, yet he girded his loins on Sarah's behalf? He said to her: Can you do what my grandmother did? She said: And what did she do? He said: She brought her rival into her house. She said: If this is the thing that holds it back, here is my maid Bilhah, go in to her. (Genesis 30:6) "And Rachel said: God has judged me." He judged me and found me liable, He judged me and found me worthy. He judged me and found me liable, "and Rachel was barren"; He judged me and found me worthy, "and He gave me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan. Great in numbers. (Genesis 30:8) "And Rachel said: I have wrestled." I tested, I coaxed, I prevailed [over] my sister. Rabbi Yohanan said: I was entitled to act lightly before my sister; had I sent and said to him, Take care, they are deceiving you, he would not have parted [from me]. But I said: If I am not worthy that the world be built from me, let it be built from my sister.
Jacob's Anger at Rachel and the Naming of Dan
