NETBible

They traveled on from Bethel, and when Ephrath was still some distance away,¹ Rachel went into labor² – and her labor was hard.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and there was still a stretch of the land to go to Ephrath.”

²tn Normally the verb would be translated “she gave birth,” but because that obviously had not happened yet, it is better to translate the verb as ingressive, “began to give birth” (cf. NIV) or “went into labor.”
