Genesis 35:14-19 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

14. Jacob set up a large rock, so that he would remember what had happened there. Then he poured wine and olive oil on the rock to show that it was dedicated to God,

15. and he named the place Bethel.

16. Jacob and his family had left Bethel and were still a long way from Ephrath, when the time came for Rachel's baby to be born.

17. She was having a rough time, but the woman who was helping her said, “Don't worry! It's a boy.”

18. Rachel was at the point of death, and just before dying, she said, “I'll name him Benoni.” But Jacob called him Benjamin.

19. Rachel was buried beside the road to Ephrath, which is also called Bethlehem.
