Genesis 35:19-27

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

20Then Jacob set up a stone as a marker for her grave. The same marker is at Rachel’s grave today.

21Israel moved on again and put up his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went to bed with his father’s concubine  Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had 12 sons.

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

24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25The sons of Rachel’s slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26The sons of Leah’s slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These were Jacob’s sons, who were born in Paddan Aram.

27Jacob came home to his father Isaac to Mamre’s city, Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron). Abraham and Isaac had lived there for a while.
