1And Elohim (God) said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto Elohim (God), that appeared unto you when you fleddest from the face of Esau your brother.
2Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
3And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto Elohim (God), who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5And they journeyed: and the terror of Elohim (God) was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him.
7And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there Elohim (God) appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
9And Elohim (God) appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
10And Elohim (God) said unto him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Yashar'el (Israel) shall be your name: and he called his name Yashar'el (Israel).
11And Elohim (God) said unto him, I am El Shaddai (God Almighty): be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;
12And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land.
13And Elohim (God) went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
15And Jacob called the name of the place where Elohim (God) spake with him, Beth-el.
16And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.
18And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
19And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
20And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.
21And Yashar'el (Israel) journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
22And it came to pass, when Yashar'el (Israel) dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Yashar'el (Israel) heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Yahudah (Judah), and Issachar, and Zebulun:
24The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
25And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram.
27And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
29And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
