Conclusion of Jacob Has a Big Family

The time came when Jacob decided to leave La'ban ad go back to Ca'naan. So he gathered together his big family and his great flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, and began the long trip.

After Jacob and his family had back in Ca'naan for a while, Rachel gave birth to another son. it happened when they were on a trip, and she finally died while give birth. But the little baby boy was all right. Jacob named him Benjamin.

We want to remember the names of the 12 sons of Jacob because the whole nation of Israel came from them.  In fact, the 12 tribes of Israel were named after 10 sons of Jacob and two sons of Joseph. Isaac lived for many years after all these boys were born, and it must have made him happy to have so many grandsons.  But let's see what happened to his granddaughter Di'nah. 

Genesis 29:32-35; 30:1-26; 35:16-19, 37:35.

Note: Keep in mind this particular story, as printed it/typed it  out of order, somehow. I think.
