Genesis 35:16-19
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
19So fRachel died, and she was buried on the way to gEphrath (that is, Bethlehem), Genesis 37:11
11And hhis brothers were jealous of him, ibut his father kept the saying in mind.Numbers 11:15

29But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? jWould that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”1 Kings 19:4
4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. kAnd he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”Job 3:1-3
Job Laments His Birth
1After this Job lopened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2And Job said:3 m“Let the day perish on which I was born,
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
Job 3:11
11 “Why ndid I not die at birth,come out from the womb and expire?
Job 3:20-22
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery,and life to othe bitter in soul,
21who plong for death, but it comes not,
and dig for it more than for qhidden treasures,
22who rejoice exceedingly
and are glad when they find the grave?
Job 5:2
2Surely vexation kills the fool,and jealousy slays the simple.
