01 Gen 35.16-20 Rachel dies birthing Benjamin

Genesis 35:16-20 (ESV)

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

^17  And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.”

^18  And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

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

^20  and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel’s tomb, which is there to this day.
