15. Jacob named the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
16. They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away, Rachel went into labor – and her labor was hard.
17. When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.”
18. With her dying breath, she named him Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin instead.
19. So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20. Jacob set up a marker over her grave; it is the Marker of Rachel’s Grave to this day.
21. Then Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
22. While Israel was living in that land, Reuben had sexual relations with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard about it.Jacob had twelve sons:
23. The sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, as well as Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24. The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
