“Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.”
Genesis 35:16 (BSB)
Context Reading
14So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him — a stone marker — and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil. 15Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel. 16Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult. 17During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.” 18And with her last breath — for she was dying — she named vvv him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.
