Genesis 35:16-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. They moved on from Bethel. Ephrath wasn't very far away when Rachel began to have a baby. She was having a very hard time of it.

17. The woman who helped her saw that she was having problems. So she said to her, "Don't be afraid. You have another son."

18. But Rachel was dying. As she took her last breath, she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

19. So Rachel died. Her body was buried beside the road to Ephrath. Ephrath was also called Bethlehem.

20. Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. The pillar marks the place of Rachel's tomb to this very day.

21. Israel moved on again. He set up his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
