^{16 (E)} Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor. ^{17 (E)} And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for you have another son." ^{18 (E)} And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. ^{19 (E)} So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), ^{20 (E)} and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel's tomb, which is there to this day. ^{21 (J)} Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

^{22 (J,P)} While 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. ^{23 (P)} The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. ^{24 (P)} The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. ^{25 (P)} The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali. ^{26 (P)} The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
