Genesis 35:13-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.

14. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.

15. So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16. Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.

17. And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.”

18. And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

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

20. and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel’s tomb, which is there to this day.

21. Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
