Genesis30:1

1 AND when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envyed her sister, and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die ▪

A speech full of impatience and bordering upon blasphemy, and striking at God himself through Iacobs sides. For which therefore she afterwards smarted, dying by that very means whereby she hoped to prevent her death and prolong her life, Gen. 35. 18.
