Death of Rachel
16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; ayou will have this son also.”
18 And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name1 Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
19 So aRachel died and was buried on the way to bEphrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave ato this day.
