Genesis 35:16-20
New American Standard Bible
16 Then they journeyed on from Bethel; but when there was still some distance to go to (A)Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe difficulties in her labor. 17 And when she was suffering severe difficulties in her labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for (B)you have another son!” 18 And it came about, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him [a]Ben-oni; but his father called him [b]Benjamin. 19 So (C)Rachel died and was buried on the way to (D)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 And Jacob set up a memorial stone over her grave; that is the (E)memorial stone of Rachel’s grave to this day.

The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac(A)
16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath,(B) Rachel(C) began to give birth and had great difficulty. 17 And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife(D) said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”(E) 18 As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[a](F) But his father named him Benjamin.[b](G)
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath(H) (that is, Bethlehem(I)). 20 Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day(J) that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.(K)
