Genesis 35:13-21 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. Then God departed from him.

14. In the place where God had spoken with him, Jacob set up a sacred pillar, a stone pillar, and upon it he made a libation and poured out oil.

15. Jacob named the place where God spoke to him Bethel.

16. Then they departed from Bethel; but while they still had some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel went into labor and suffered great distress.

17. When her labor was most intense, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now you have another son.”

18. With her last breath—for she was at the point of death—she named him Ben-oni; but his father named him Benjamin.

19. Thus Rachel died; and she was buried on the road to Ephrath (now Bethlehem).

20. Jacob set up a sacred pillar on her grave, and the same pillar marks Rachel’s grave to this day.

21. Israel moved on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder.
