- 1. ¶ AND God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there; and build there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the presence of your brother Esau.
- 2. Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
- 3. And let us arise and go up to Beth-el; and I will build there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the journey that I took.
- 4. So they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their possession, and the earrings that were in their ears; and Jacob buried them under the oak which was by Shechem.
- 5. And they journeyed; and the fear of God fell upon the towns that were round about them, and they did not pursue after Jacob and his sons.
- 6. ¶ So Jacob came to Luz, that is Beth-el, which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people that were with him.
- 7. And he built there an altar, and called the place Beth-el (the house of God), because there God appeared to him when he fled from the presence of his brother Esau.
- 8. Then Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Bethel under an oak; so the name of the oak was called Betemtha dabkhatha (the oak of weeping).
- 9. And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan-aram, and blessed him.
- 10. And God said to him. Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; so he called his name Israel.
- 11. And God said to him. I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply: a people and a multitude of peoples shall come from you, and kings shall come out of your loins;
- 12. And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your descendants after you will I give the land.
- 13. And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
- 14. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had talked with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
- 15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-el.
- 16. ¶ And they journeyed from Bethel, and continued until they came within the distance of a mile from the entrance to Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor while she was being delivered.
- 17. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this one also is a son for you.
- 18. And it came to pass, as her soul was departing and she was dying, she called the child’s name Bar-kebai (the Son of My Sorrow); but his father called him Benjamin (the Son of My Right Hand).
- 19. And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
- 20. And Jacob set up a pillar upon the grave of Rachel; that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
- 21. ¶ And Israel journeyed, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gadar.
- 22. And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
- 23. The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
- 24. And the sons of Rachel: Joseph, and Benjamin.
- 25. And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid: Dan, and Naphtali.
- 26. And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad, and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-aram.
- 27. And Jacob came to his father Isaac to Mamre, to Koriath Gabarey, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
- 28. And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
- 29. Then Isaac grew weak and died; and he was gathered to his people, being very old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him in the burial ground which his father Abraham had purchased.
