Genesis 35:11-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. And Elohim said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai. Bear fruit and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you, and sovereigns come from your body.

12. “And the land which I gave Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq I give to you. And to your seed after you I give this land.”

13. And Elohim went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.

14. And Ya‛aqoḇ set up a standing column in the place where He had spoken with him, a monument of stone. And he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.

15. And Ya‛aqoḇ called the name of the place where Elohim spoke with him, Bĕyth Ěl.

16. Then they set out from Bĕyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥĕl began to give birth, and had great difficulty giving birth.

17. And it came to be, as she was having great difficulty giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for it is another son for you.”

18. And it came to be, as her life was going out – for she died – that she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him Binyamin.

19. So Raḥĕl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, that is Bĕyth Leḥem.

20. And Ya‛aqoḇ set a standing column on her grave, which is the monument of Raḥĕl’s grave to this day.

21. And Yisra’ĕl set out and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Ěḏer.

22. And it came to be, when Yisra’ĕl dwelt in that land, that Re’uḇĕn went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine. And Yisra’ĕl heard about it. Now the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ were twelve:

23. the sons of Lĕ’ah were Re’uḇĕn, Ya‛aqoḇ’s first-born, and Shim‛on, and Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah, and Yissasḵar, and Zeḇulun;

24. the sons of Raḥĕl were Yosĕph and Binyamin;
