16 Then they journeyed from Bethel; and there was still some distance to go to aEphrath, and Rachel gave birth, and she suffered severely in her labor. 17 Now it happened that when she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now ayou have another son.” 18 Now it happened as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him 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 up a pillar over her grave; that is the apillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21 Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the atower of Eder.

22 Now it happened while Israel was dwelling in that land, that aReuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it.
And there were twelve sons of Jacob—
23 athe sons of Leah:
Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn,
then Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;
24 athe sons of Rachel:
Joseph and Benjamin;
25 and athe sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant-woman:
Dan and Naphtali;
26 and athe sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant-woman:
Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
27 And Jacob came to his father Isaac at aMamre of bKiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
