Genesis 35:18

¹⁸As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

Genesis 35 marks a pivotal moment in Jacob's life, as God calls him back to Bethel to fulfill a vow and renew the Abrahamic covenant. This chapter is filled with significant events: the purging of foreign gods, the death of Deborah, the birth of Benjamin and the death of Rachel, and the return to Isaac. It underscores themes of divine faithfulness, Jacob's spiritual growth, and the ongoing, sometimes painful, formation of God's chosen family, setting the stage for the next generation of patriarchs.
