Genesis 35:9-18
King James Version
9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

Genesis 35:9-18
New International Version
9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,[a](A) God appeared to him again and blessed him.(B) 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,[b] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.[c]”(C) So he named him Israel.
11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty[d];(D) be fruitful and increase in number.(E) A nation(F) and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.(G) 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.(H)”(I) 13 Then God went up from him(J) at the place where he had talked with him.
14 Jacob set up a stone pillar(K) at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering(L) on it; he also poured oil on it.(M) 15 Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.[e](N)
The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac(O)
16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath,(P) Rachel(Q) began to give birth and had great difficulty. 17 And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife(R) said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”(S) 18 As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[f](T) But his father named him Benjamin.[g](U)
