The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. {a little...: Heb. a little piece of ground}

And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.

But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

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. {Benoni: that is, The son of my sorrow} {Benjamin: that is, The son of the right hand}
