²² Then God ^(A)remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and ^(B)opened her womb. ²³ And she conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away ^(C)my reproach.” ²⁴ So she called his name ^[a]Joseph, and said, ^(D)“The Lord shall add to me another son.”

Death of Rachel

¹⁶ Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. ¹⁷ Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; ^(A)you will have this son also.” ¹⁸ And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name ^[a]Ben-Oni; but his father called him ^[b]Benjamin.

¹⁹ The ^(A)sons of Rachel, ^(B)Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin.
