Genesis 35:16-18

The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac

16Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance
Or about two hours’ distance
from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.
17And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for byou have another son.” 18And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;
 Ben-oni could mean son of my sorrow, or son of my strength
dbut his father called him Benjamin.
 Benjamin means son of the right hand

1 Samuel 4:19-21

19Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant, about to give birth. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed and gave birth, for her pains came upon her. 20And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, f“Do not be afraid, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention. 21And she named the child gIchabod, saying, h“The glory has departed
Or gone into exile; also verse 22
from Israel!” because jthe ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

Psalms 48:6

6 kTrembling took hold of them there,
anguish las of a woman in labor.

Isaiah 13:8

8They will be dismayed:
mpangs and agony will seize them;
nthey will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
their faces will be aflame.

Isaiah 21:3

3Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
opangs have seized me,
like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
I am dismayed so that I cannot see.

Isaiah 26:17-18

17 pLike a pregnant woman
who writhes and cries out in her pangs
when she is near to giving birth,
so were we because of you, O Lord;
18 qwe were pregnant, we writhed,
but we have given birth to wind.
We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth,
and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.

Isaiah 53:11

11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see
Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll  he shall see light
and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall sthe righteous one, my servant,
tmake many to be accounted righteous,
uand he shall bear their iniquities.
