Genesis 35:16-20

16They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away, Rachel went into labor – and her labor was hard.

17When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.”

18With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.

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

20Jacob set up a marker over her grave; it is the Marker of Rachel’s Grave to this day.
