Genesis 35:10-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

10. Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.

11. And said to him: I am God Almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

12. And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

13. And he departed from him.

14. But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:

15. And calling the name of that place Bethel.

16. And going forth from thence, he came in the springtime to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,

17. By reason of her hard labor she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.

18. And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, The son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, The son of the right hand.

19. So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, that is Bethlehem.

20. And Jacob erected a pillar over her sepulcher: this is the pillar of Rachel's monument, to this day.
