Genesis 35:16-21
Legacy Standard Bible

16 Then they journeyed from Bethel; and there was still some distance to go to (A)Ephrath, and Rachel gave birth, and she [a]suffered severely in her labor. 17 Now it happened that when she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now (B)you have another son.” 18 Now it happened as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him [b]Ben-oni; but his father called him [c]Benjamin. 19 So (C)Rachel died and was buried on the way to (D)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 And Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the (E)pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21 Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the [d](F)tower of [e]Eder.

The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac

16 Leaving Bethel, Jacob and his clan moved on toward Ephrath. But Rachel went into labor while they were still some distance away. Her labor pains were intense. 17 After a very hard delivery, the midwife finally exclaimed, “Don’t be afraid—you have another son!” 18 Rachel was about to die, but with her last breath she named the baby Ben-oni (which means “son of my sorrow”). The baby’s father, however, called him Benjamin (which means “son of my right hand”). 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 Jacob set up a stone monument over Rachel’s grave, and it can be seen there to this day.

21 Then Jacob[a] traveled on and camped beyond Migdal-eder.
