Genesis 35:23-26 -

The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun (cf. Genesis 29:32-35 ; Genesis 30:18-20 ; Genesis 46:8-15 ; Exodus 1:2 , Exodus 1:3 ). The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin (Cf. Genesis 30:22-24 ; Genesis 35:18 ; Genesis 46:19 ). And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali (cf. Genesis 30:4-8 ). And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher (cf. Genesis 30:9-13 ): these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram. All except Benjamin were born there. Either this is an instance of the summary style of Scripture in which minute verbal accuracy is not always preserved (Inglis), or the whole period of Jacob's pilgrimage to Mesopotamia and back is intended by his residence in Padan-aram (Kalisch).
