Kwathi lapho isenzima ngempela imihelo yakhe, umbelethisi wamqinisa idolo, wathi: “Ungesabi, ngokuba uzothola enye indodana.” Eseyalela sekuphuma umphefumulo, wayiqamba igama wathi nguBhenoni, kodwa uyise wathi nguBhenjamini. URaheli wafa, wangcwatshwa ngasendleleni eya e-Efratha, okuyiBhethlehema. UJakobe wamisa insika phezu kwethuna likaRaheli, lelo thuna liselapho kuze kube namuhla.
