New International Version

Genesis 35:11-18 New International Version (NIV)

11. And God said to him, “I am God Almighty ; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.

12. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”

13. Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.

14. Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.

15. Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.

16. Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.

17. And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”

18. As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.
