Genesis 35:21

Verse 21 of 29. The 35th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

17When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for now you will have another son.”

18As her soul was departing (for she died), she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).

20Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

21Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25The sons of Bilhah (Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali.
