Rahel dies giving birth to Benyamin

Gen 35:16–21

35:16 Rahel dies giving birth to Benyamin

16Then they moved on from Beyt-el, and there was still quite a distance to go to reach to the town of Ephrath. Then Rahel went into labour, but was having great difficulty in delivering the baby. 17At one point when she was in hard labour, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid. You’ve got another son.” 18But Rahel was dying, and as her spirit was leaving her, she named the baby ‘Ben’oni’ (which means ‘son of my sorrow’), but afterwards Yacob renamed him ‘Benyamin’ (which means ‘son of my right hand’).

19Thus Rahel died and was buried on the path to Ephrath (which is now called Bethlehem). 20Yacob set up a stone pillar over her grave—that’s the pillar of Rahel’s grave to this day. 21Then Yisra’el and his household moved on and pitched their tents beyond Migdal Eder.
