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