Genesis 35:19-27

19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20Jacob set a pillar (memorial, monument) on her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

21Then Israel (Jacob) journeyed on and pitched his tent on the other side of the tower of Eder [the lookout point used by shepherds].

22While Israel was living in that land, Reuben [his eldest son] went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine, and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob had twelve sons—

23The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;

24and the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid: Dan and Naphtali;

26and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob born to him in Paddan-aram.

27Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived temporarily.
