Genesis 35:16-29

Jacob and his group left Bethel. Before they came to Ephrath, Rachel began giving birth to her baby, but she was having much trouble. When Rachel’s nurse saw this, she said, “Don’t be afraid, Rachel. You are giving birth to another son.” Rachel gave birth to the son, but she herself died. As she lay dying, she named the boy Son of My Suffering, but Jacob called him Benjamin. Rachel was buried on the road to Ephrath, a district of Bethlehem, and Jacob set up a rock on her grave to honor her. That rock is still there. Then Israel continued his journey and camped just south of Migdal Eder. While Israel was there, Reuben had sexual relations with Israel’s slave woman Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons. He had six sons by his wife Leah: Reuben, his first son, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. He had two sons by his wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. He had two sons by Rachel’s slave girl Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali. And he had two sons by Leah’s slave girl Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These are Jacob’s sons who were born in Northwest Mesopotamia. Jacob went to his father Isaac at Mamre near Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had lived. Isaac lived one hundred eighty years. So Isaac breathed his last breath and died when he was very old, and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
