以撒因为自己的妻子不生育，就为她恳求耶和华。耶和华应允了他，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。

儿女是耶和华所赐的产业，腹中的胎儿是他的赏赐。

其中一位说：“到明年这个时候，我必回到你这里来。那时，你的妻子撒拉必生一个儿子。”撒拉在那人后面的帐棚门口，也听见了这话。

因为耶和华为了亚伯拉罕妻子撒拉的缘故，曾经使亚比米勒家中所有的妇女，都不能生育。

利亚见自己停止生育，就把她的婢女悉帕给了雅各为妾。利亚的婢女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子。

那人说：“你所赐给我、和我在一起的那女人，她把树上的果子给我，我就吃了。”

聚集在城门的众人和长老都说：“我们都是见证人。愿耶和华使进你家的这女人，像建立以色列家的拉结和利亚二人一样。愿你在以法他显大，在伯利恒扬名。

在耶和华神所造野地所有的活物中，蛇是最狡猾的。蛇对女人说：“神真的说过，你们不可吃园中任何树上的果子吗？”女人对蛇说：“园中树上的果子，我们都可以吃；只有园中那棵树上的果子，神曾经说过：‘你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。’”蛇对女人说：“你们决不会死；因为神知道你们吃那果子的时候，你们的眼睛就开了；你们会像神一样，能知道善恶。”于是，女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，又悦人的眼目，而且讨人喜爱，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了；又给了和她在一起的丈夫，他也吃了。

神顾念拉结，垂听了她的祷告，使她能生育。

他的主人若是给他妻子，妻子又给他生了儿女，那么妻子和儿女都要归给主人，他自己要单独出去。

雅各就向拉结生气，说：“使你不能生育的是神，我能代替他吗？”拉结说：“我的婢女辟拉在这里，你可以与她亲近，使她生子归我，我就可以从她得到孩子﹙“得到孩子”直译是“被建立”﹚。”于是，拉结把自己的婢女辟拉给了雅各为妾，雅各就与她亲近。

耶和华神又对亚当说：“因为你听从了你妻子的话，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子；地就必因你的缘故受咒诅；你必终生劳苦，才能从地里得吃的。

我必赐福给她，也必使她为你生一个儿子；我要赐福给她，她也要作多国的母，万族的君王必从她而出。”

拉结说：“神为我伸了冤，也垂听了我的声音，赐给我一个儿子。”所以给他起名叫但。
