¹⁶ ¶ Then they departed from Bethel, and when there was ^[a]about half a day’s journey of ground to come to Ephrath, Rachel travailed, and in travailing she was in peril.

¹⁷ And when she was in the pains of her labor, the midwife said unto her, Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.

¹⁸ Then as she was about to yield up the ghost (for she died) she called his name Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.

¹⁹ Thus ^(A)died Rachel and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

²⁰ And Jacob set a ^[a]pillar upon her grave: This is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.

²¹ ¶ Then Israel went forward, and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
