Tree Of Life Version

Genesis 35:16-29 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

16. Then they traveled from Beth-El, and while they were still a distance from entering Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, but her labor was difficult.

17. While she was struggling to give birth, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for this is also a son for you.”

18. Now as her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.

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

20. Jacob set up a memorial stone over her grave. (It is the memorial stone over Rachel’s grave to this day.)

21. Then Israel journeyed on and set up his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22. While Israel was living in that land, Reuben went and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.

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

24. Rachel’s sons were Joseph and Benjamin.

25. The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s female servant, were Dan and Naphtali,

26. and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s female servant, were Gad and Asher. These are Jacob’s sons, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27. Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriat-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

28. Now Isaac’s days were 180 years.

29. Then Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. So his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
