Genesis 35:9-26

God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan-aram, and he blessed him. God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; you will no longer be named Jacob, but your name will be Israel.”  So he named him Israel. God also said to him, “I am God Almighty.  Be fruitful and multiply.  A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will come from you,  and kings will descend from you.  , I will give to you the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac.  And I will give the land to your future descendants.” Then God withdrew  , from him at the place where he had spoken to him. Jacob set up a marker at the place where he had spoken to him #— #a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.  Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel. They set out from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult. During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have another son.”  With her last breath #— #for she was dying #— #she named him Ben-oni,  but his father called him Benjamin.  So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem  ). Jacob set up a marker on her grave; it is the marker at Rachel’s grave still today. Israel set out again and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.  While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it.  Jacob had twelve sons:  Leah’s sons were Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. Rachel’s sons were Joseph and Benjamin. The sons of Rachel’s slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali. The sons of Leah’s slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
