moved on toward Ephrath. But Rachel
went into labor while they were still
some distance away. Her labor pains
were intense. 17 After a very hard delivery, the midwife finally exclaimed,
“Don’t be afraid—you have another
son!” 18 Rachel was about to die, but
with her last breath she named the
baby Ben-oni (which means “son of
my sorrow”). The baby’s father, however, called him Ben
ja
min (which
means “son of my right hand”). 19 So
Rachel died and was buried on the
way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 Jacob set up a stone monument over
Rachel’s grave, and it can be seen
there to this day.
21 Then Jacob* traveled on and
camped beyond Migdal-eder. 22 While
he was living there, Reuben had intercourse with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Jacob soon heard about it.
These are the names of the twelve
sons of Jacob:
23 The
sons of Leah were Reuben
(Jacob’s oldest son), Simeon, Levi,
Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and
Benjamin.
25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s
servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant,
were Gad and Asher.
These are the names of the sons who
were born to Jacob at Paddan-aram.
27 So Jacob returned to his father,
I saac, in Mamre, which is near Kiriath-
arba (now called He
bron), where
Abraham and I saac had both lived as
foreigners. 28 Isaac lived for 180 years.
29 Then he breathed his last and died
at a ripe old age, joining his ancestors in death. And his sons, Esau and
Jacob, buried him.
36:1 This is the account of the descendants of Esau (also known as Edom).
2 Esau married two young women
from Canaan: Adah, the daughter of
Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, the
daughter of Anah and granddaughter
of Zibeon the Hivite. 3 He also married his cousin Basemath, who was
January 17
the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah gave birth to
a son named Eliphaz for Esau. Base
math gave birth to a son named Reu
el. 5 Oholibamah gave birth to sons
named Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. All
these sons were born to Esau in the
land of Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives, his children,
and his entire household, along
with his livestock and cattle—all the
wealth he had acquired in the land of
Canaan—and moved away from his
brother, Jacob. 7 There was not enough
land to support them both because of
all the livestock and possessions they
had acquired. 8 So Esau (also known
as Edom) settled in the hill country of
Seir.
9 This is the account of Esau’s descendants, the E
domites, who lived in
the hill country of Seir.
10 These
are the names of Esau’s sons:
Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife
Adah; and Reuel, the son of Esau’s
wife Basemath.
11 The descendants of Eliphaz were
Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and
Kenaz. 12 Timna, the concubine of
Esau’s son Eliphaz, gave birth to
a son named Amalek. These are
the descendants of Esau’s wife
Adah.
13 The descendants of Reuel were
Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and
Mizzah. These are the descendants
of Esau’s wife Basemath.
14 Esau also had sons through
Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah
and granddaughter of Zibeon.
Their names were Jeush, Jalam,
and Korah.
15 These
are the descendants of Esau
who became the leaders of various
clans:
The descendants of Esau’s oldest
son, Eliphaz, became the leaders
of the clans of Teman, Omar,
Zepho, Kenaz, 16 Korah, Gatam,
and Amalek. These are the clan
leaders in the land of Edom who
descended from Eliphaz. All these
