New Testament

Genesis 35:16-23 New International Version (NIV)

16. Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.

17. And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”

18. As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

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

20. Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.

21. Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

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

23. The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.
