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