GLANCING THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES

 (KJV.)  GENESIS 35:16-22

Jacob returns to Bethel:

(16)  And they journeyed from Bethel:  and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath:  and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

(17)  And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her,  Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

(18)  And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing,  (for she died)  that she called his name Benoni:  but his father called him Benjamin.

(19)  And Rachel died and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

(20)  And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

(21)  And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

(22)  And it came to pass, when Israel dwell in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine:  and Israel heard it.  Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
