11. God said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fertile and multiply. A nation, even a large group of nations, will come from you; kings will descend from your own children.
12. The land I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, I give to you; and I will give the land to your descendants after you."
13. Then God ascended, leaving him alone in the place where he spoke to him.
14. So Jacob set up a sacred pillar, a stone pillar, at the place God spoke to him. He poured an offering of wine on it and then poured oil over it.
15. Jacob named the place Bethel where God spoke to him.
16. They left Bethel, and when they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into hard labor.
17. During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Don’t be afraid. You have another son."
18. As her life faded away, just before she died, she named him Ben-oni, but his father named him Benjamin.
19. Rachel died and was buried near the road to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.
20. Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. It’s the pillar on Rachel’s tomb that’s still there today.
21. Israel continued his trip and pitched his tent farther on near the tower of Eder.
