1. Mosebok 35,18

Benjamin
GriefDeath and loss

16 Så dro de fra Betel. Da de ennå var et stykke fra Efrat, fikk Rakel fødselsveer og hadde store vanskeligheter.

17 Under hennes intense fødsel sa jordmoren til henne: «Frykt ikke, for du har enda en sønn.»

Mens hun dro sitt siste sukk—for hun var døende—kalte hun sin sønn Ben-Oni, men hans far kalte ham Benjamin.

19 Så døde Rakel og ble gravlagt på veien til Efrat (det er Betlehem).

20 Jakob reiste en støtte over hennes grav; det er Rakels gravstøtte til denne dag.
