Genesis 35:17

When her labor was at its hardest, ¹  the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.” ² 

And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, "Don’t be afraid, for you have another son."

When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for now you have another son."

After a very hard delivery, the midwife finally exclaimed, "Don’t be afraid––you have another son!"

When her labor pains were at their worst, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid--you have another boy."

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

When she was in her hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid; for now you will have another son."

Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, "Do not fear; you will have this son also."

When her labor was at its hardest, ¹  the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you are having another son.” ² 

¹ tn The construction uses a Hiphil infinitive, which E. A. Speiser classifies as an elative Hiphil. The contrast is with the previous Piel: there “she had hard labor,” and here, “her labor was at its hardest.” Failure to see this, Speiser notes, has led to redundant translations and misunderstandings (Genesis [AB], 273).

² sn Another son. The episode recalls and fulfills the prayer of Rachel at the birth of Joseph (Gen 30:24): “may he add” another son.
