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 cyou 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
ebut his father called him Benjamin. ▼▼ Benjamin means son of the right hand
19So gRachel died, and she was buried on the way to hEphrath (that is, Bethlehem), 1 Samuel 10:2
2When you depart from me today, you will meet two men by iRachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, j‘The donkeys that you went to seek are found, and now kyour father has ceased to care about the donkeys and is anxious about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’Matthew 2:18
18 l“A voice was heard in Ramah,weeping and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
she refused to be comforted, because they mare no more.”
