¹⁶ Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to ^(A)Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she ^[a]suffered severe labor. ¹⁷ When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now ^(B)you have another son.” ¹⁸ It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him ^[b]Ben-oni; but his father called him ^[c]Benjamin. ¹⁹ So ^(C)Rachel died and was buried on the way to ^(D)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). ²⁰ Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the ^(E)pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

⁷ Now as for me, when I came from ^(A)Paddan, ^(B)Rachel died, ^[a]to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
