Deaths of Rachel and Isaac

Genesis 35:16-29

35
Chapter 35
16 And they journeyed from Bethel, and it was—when there was still a distance of the land to come to Ephrathah—that Rachel gave birth, and she labored hard in giving birth. 17 And it was as she labored hard in giving birth, and she said to the midwife, "Do not fear, for this one also is to you a son." 18 And as her life was going out—for she was dying—she called his name Son of My Sorrow, but his father called him Benjamin. 19 And Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrathah, which is Bethlehem. 20 Jacob set up a pillar over her grave. It is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day. 21 And Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-Eder. 22 And it was when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve. 23 The sons of Leah, Jacob's firstborn: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. 24 Rachel's sons: Joseph and Benjamin. 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's concubine: Dan and Naphtali. 26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob whom she bore to him in Paddan-aram. 27 Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, Kiriath-arba—that is, Hebron—where Abraham and Isaac dwelt. 28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years. 29 And Isaac died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
