Genesis 35:11-21

11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply ; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it , and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed , and she had hard labour .
17 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.
18 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.
19 And Rachel died , and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
21 And Israel journeyed , and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
