New King James Version

Genesis 35:12-26 New King James Version (NKJV)

12. The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”

13. Then God went up from him in the place where He talked with him.

14. So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.

15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.

16. Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.

17. Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; you will have this son also.”

18. And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

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

20. And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

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

22. And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it.Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

23. the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;

24. the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;

25. the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali;

26. and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
