Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to ^(x)Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she ^[r]suffered severe labor.

When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for now ^(y)you have another son."

It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him ^[s]Ben-oni; but his father called him ^[t]Benjamin.

So ^(z)Rachel died and was buried on the way to ^(aa)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the ^(ab)pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.
