1And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to the Mighty God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother. 2And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3Let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to the Mighty God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone. 4So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem. 5And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6So Jacob came to Luz (which is Bethel), in the land of Canaan, he and all the people with him. 7And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from the face of his brother. 8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth. 9And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Paddan, and blessed him. 10And God said to him, Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name. And He called his name Israel. 11God also said to him: I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come forth from your loins. 12The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your seed after you I give this land. 13And God ascended from him in the place where He had spoken with him. 14And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. 15And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel. 16And they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was still some ground to cover to arrive at Ephrath, Rachel was giving birth, and she had hard labor. 17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Do not fear; you shall have this son also. 18And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin. 19And Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (which is Bethlehem). 20And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21And Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder. 22And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; 24the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin; 25the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali; 26and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan. 27And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, to the city of Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. 28And the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years. 29And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and fulfilled in days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
