Genesis 35:16-26
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.
21Then Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
22While Israel was living in that land, Reuben had sexual relations with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:
23The sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, as well as Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
26The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
