Genesis 35:11-18 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;

12. The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.

13. Then God ascended from him in the place where He talked with him.

14. And Jacob set up a pillar (monument) in the place where he talked with [God], a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it and he poured oil on it.

15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him Bethel [house of God].

16. And they journeyed from Bethel and had but a little way to go to Ephrath [Bethlehem] when Rachel suffered the pangs of childbirth and had hard labor.

17. When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, Do not be afraid; you shall have this son also.

18. And as her soul was departing, for she died, she called his name Ben-oni [son of my sorrow]; but his father called him Benjamin [son of the right hand].
