Genesis 35:15-20
New American Standard Bible
16Then they journeyed on from Bethel; but when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe difficulties in her labor.
17And when she was suffering severe difficulties in her labor, the midwife said to her, 'Do not fear, for you have another son!'
18And it came about, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20And Jacob set up a memorial stone over her grave; that is the memorial stone of Rachel’s grave to this day.
King James Version
16And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
19And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

16Leaving Bethel, Jacob and his clan moved on toward Ephrath. But Rachel went into labor while they were still some distance away. Her labor pains were intense.
17After a very hard delivery, the midwife finally exclaimed, 'Don’t be afraid — you have another son!'
18Rachel was about to die, but with her last breath she named the baby Ben-oni (which means 'son of my sorrow'). The baby’s father, however, called him Benjamin (which means 'son of my right hand').
19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20Jacob set up a stone monument over Rachel’s grave, and it can be seen there to this day.
