There was still some distance
to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.
035:017 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her,
"Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."
035:018 It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died),
that she named him Benoni,{"Benoni" means "son of my
trouble."} but his father named him Benjamin.{"Benjamin"
means "son of my right hand."}
035:019 Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath
(the same is Bethlehem).
035:020 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar
of Rachel's grave to this day.
035:021 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
035:022 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and
lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it.
Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
035:023 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn),
Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
035:024 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
035:025 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.
035:026 The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher.
These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
035:027 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba
(which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
035:028 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
035:029 Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people,
old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
036:001 Now this is the history of the generations of Esau
(that is, Edom).
036:002 Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter
of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah,
the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite;
036:003 and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebaioth.
036:004 Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore Reuel.
036:005 Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons
of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
036:006 Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members
of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all
his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan,
and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.
036:007 For their substance was too great for them to dwell together,
and the land of their travels couldn't bear them because
of their livestock.
036:008 Esau lived in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.
036:009 This is the history of the generations of Esau the father
of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir:
036:010 these are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son
of Adah, the wife of Esau; and Reuel, the son of Basemath,
the wife of Esau.
036:011 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
