Before her death Rachel gave birth to a second son. With her parting breath she named the child Benoni, "son of my sorrow." But his father called him Benjamin, "son of my right hand," or "my strength." Rachel was buried where she died, and a pillar was raised upon the spot to perpetuate her memory.

Før sin død fødte Rakel endnu en søn. Med sit sidste åndedrag kaldte hun barnet Benjamin, "min lidelses søn", men faderen kaldte ham Benjamin, "lykkens søn". Rakel blev begravet, hvor hun døde, og der blev rejst en stenstøtte på stedet til minde om hende.
