Génesis 35:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 35:17

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour
In the midst of it, and at the worst: that the midwife said unto her, fear not;
for Rachel big with child, it was necessary to take a midwife with them in the journey; and perhaps this might be one that was always kept in the family, and had been assisting to all Jacob's wives and concubines at their labours; and this seems probable from what follows, since she not only bids her be of good courage, and not fear, comforting her under her pains, giving her hopes they would soon be over, and that she would have a safe delivery, and do well: but this she assures her of, thou shalt have this son also;
as she had one before, at whose birth she said, "the Lord shall add to me another son"; and therefore called his name Joseph, ( Genesis 30:24 ) ; this the midwife remembered, and endeavours to comfort her with the accomplishment of it.

Génesis 35:17 In-Context

15 Y llam贸 Jacob el nombre de aquel lugar donde Dios hab铆a hablado con 茅l, Bet-el.
16 Y partieron de Bet-el, y hab铆a a煤n como media legua de tierra para llegar a Efrata, cuando dio a luz Raquel, y hubo trabajo en su parto.
17 Y aconteci贸, que como hab铆a trabajo en su parto, le dijo la partera: No temas, que tambi茅n tendr谩s este hijo.
18 Y acaeci贸 que al sal铆rsele el alma, (pues muri贸) llam贸 su nombre Benoni; mas su padre lo llam贸 Benjam铆n.
19 As铆 muri贸 Raquel, y fue sepultada en el camino de Efrata, la cual es Bel茅n.
