New Living Translation
Genesis 35:16-20
16Leaving Bethel, Jacob and his clan moved on toward Ephrath. But Rachel went into labor while they were still some distance away. Her labor pains were intense.
17After a very hard delivery, the midwife finally exclaimed, “Don’t be afraid—you have another son!”
18Rachel was about to die, but with her last breath she named the baby Ben-oni (which means “son of my sorrow”). The baby’s father, however, called him Benjamin (which means “son of my right hand”).
19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20Jacob set up a stone monument over Rachel’s grave, and it can be seen there to this day.
