11. Then God said to him: I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will stem from you, and kings will issue from your loins.
12. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you; and to your descendants after you I will give the land.
13. Then God departed from him.
14. In the place where God had spoken with him, Jacob set up a sacred pillar, a stone pillar, and upon it he made a libation and poured out oil.
15. Jacob named the place where God spoke to him Bethel.
16. Then they departed from Bethel; but while they still had some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel went into labor and suffered great distress.
17. When her labor was most intense, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now you have another son.”
18. With her last breath—for she was at the point of death—she named him Ben-oni; but his father named him Benjamin.
19. Thus Rachel died; and she was buried on the road to Ephrath (now Bethlehem).
20. Jacob set up a sacred pillar on her grave, and the same pillar marks Rachel’s grave to this day.
21. Israel moved on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder.
22. While Israel was encamped in that region, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine. When Israel heard of it, he was greatly offended. The sons of Jacob were now twelve.
