Genesis 35:16-21

16And they journeyedH5265 from Beth–elH1008; and there was butH5750 a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 to EphrathH672: and RachelH7354 travailedH3205, and she had hardH7185 labourH3205.1 17And it came to pass, when she was in hardH7185 labourH3205, that the midwifeH3205 saidH559 unto her, FearH3372 not; thou shalt have this sonH1121 also. 18And it came to pass, as her soulH5315 was in departingH3318, (for she diedH4191) that she calledH7121 his nameH8034 Ben–oniH1126: but his fatherH1 calledH7121 him BenjaminH1144.23 19And RachelH7354 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the wayH1870 to EphrathH672, which is Beth–lehemH1035. 20And JacobH3290 setH5324 a pillarH4676 upon her graveH6900: that is the pillarH4678 of Rachel’sH7354 graveH6900 unto this dayH3117.

21And IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and spreadH5186 his tentH168 beyondH1973 the towerH4026 of EdarH4029.
