Genesis 48:6-8
Common English Bible
6 Your family who is born to you after them are yours, but their inheritance will be determined under their brothers’ names. 7 When I came back from Paddan-aram,[a] Rachel died, to my sorrow, on the road in the land of Canaan, with some distance yet to go to Ephrathah, so I buried her there near the road to Ephrathah,[b] which is Bethlehem.”
8 When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he said, “Who are these?”

So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).(C)
