Genesis 35:11-28 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].

19. So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.

20. And Jacob set a pillar (monument) on her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

21. Then Israel journeyed on and spread his tent on the other side of the tower of Edar.

22. When Israel dwelt there, Reuben [his eldest son] went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob's sons were twelve.

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

24. The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25. The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid: Dan and Naphtali.

26. And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob born to him in Padan-aram.

27. And Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre or Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

28. Now the days of Isaac were 180 years.
