Genesis 35:16-27

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). 20Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the 8pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the 910tower of 11Eder.

22It came about while Israel was dwelling in that land, that 12Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it.

Now there were twelve sons of Jacob-- 2313the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, then Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun; 2414the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin; 25and 15the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid: Dan and Naphtali; 26and 16the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27Jacob came to his father Isaac at 17Mamre of 18Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
