Genesis 35:16-21
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jacob’s Sons
16 Then they traveled from Bethel. As they were coming close to Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She was experiencing hard labor, 17 and when she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
18 Then as her life was slipping away[a] (for she was dying), she named her son Benoni,[b] but his father named him Benjamin.[c] 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 Jacob set up a memorial stone on her grave. It is the marker for Rachel’s tomb to this day. 21 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.[d]
