← Genesis 35:16	Genesis 35:17 (KJV)	Genesis 35:18 →
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.	And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.	And 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.
