1
And God said to Jacob , Arise , go up to Beth-el , and dwell there: and make there an altar to God , who appeared to thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother .
2
Then Jacob said to 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 Beth-el ; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4
And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand , and the ear-rings 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 on the cities that were round 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 Beth-el ) he and all the people that were with him.
7
And he erected there an altar , and called the place El-beth-el; because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother .
8
But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse , died , and she was buried beneath Beth-el , under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth .
9
And God appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram ; and blessed him.
10
And God said to 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 to him, I am God Almighty : be fruitful and multiply ; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12
And the land which I gave to 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 spoke with him, Beth-el .
16
And they journeyed from Beth-el ; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath : and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
17
And it came to pass when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to 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 Beth-lehem.
20
And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to 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 first-born , 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 , who were born to him in Padan-aram .
27
And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre , to the city of Arbah (which is Hebron ) where Abraham and Isaac sojourned .
28
And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
29
And Isaac expired and died , and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days ; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
