Genesis 35:16-19

16Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to 1Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she 2suffered severe labor.

17When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now 3you have another son.”

18It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him 4Ben-oni; but his father called him 5Benjamin.

19So 6Rachel died and was buried on the way to 7Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
