Genesis 35:10-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” Then his name was called Israel.

11. And God said to him, “I am El-Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and an assemblage of nations shall be from you, and kings shall go out from your loins.

12. And as for the land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, I will give it to you. And to your descendants after you I will give the land.

13. And God went up from him at the place where he spoke with him.

14. And Jacob set up a pillar at the place where God had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering upon it, and poured oil on it.

15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16. Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. And she had hard labor.

17. And when her labor was the most difficult the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid for you have another son.”

18. And it happened that when her life was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

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

20. And Jacob erected a pillar at her burial site. That is the pillar of the burial site of Rachel unto this day.
