Genesis 35:16-26

The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac 16Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty. 17And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”

18As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni. Ben-Oni means son of my trouble. But his father named him Benjamin. Benjamin means son of my right hand. 19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb. 21Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it. Jacob had twelve sons:

23The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.

24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25The sons of Rachel’s servant Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.

26The sons of Leah’s servant Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
