Bereshis 35:14-21 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. And Ya'akov set up a matzevah (pillar, monument) in the makom where He talked with him, even a matzevat even (pillar of stone); and he poured a nesech (drink offering) thereon, and he poured shemen (oil) thereon.

15. And Ya'akov called the shem of the makom where Elohim spoke with him, Beit- El.

16. And they journeyed from Beit-El; and there was still a space of ha'aretz to get to Ephratah; and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

17. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the meyaledet (midwife) said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this ben also.

18. And it came to pass, as her nefesh was in departing, (for she died) that she called shmo Ben-Oni (Son of Affliction); but aviv called him Binyamin.

19. And Rachel died, and was buried on the derech to Ephratah, which is Beit- Lechem.

20. And Ya'akov set up a matzevah upon her kever; that is matzevet kevurat Rachel to this day.

21. And Yisroel journeyed, and pitched his ohel beyond Migdal-Eder.
