Contemporary English Version
Benjamin Is Born
16 Jacob and his family had left Bethel and were still a long way from Ephrath, when the time came for Rachel's baby to be born. 17 She was having a rough time, but the woman who was helping her said, “Don't worry! It's a boy.” 18 Rachel was at the point of death, and right before dying, she said, “I'll name him Benoni.”[a] But Jacob called him Benjamin.[b]
19 Rachel was buried beside the road to Ephrath, which is also called Bethlehem.
