¹ And God saith unto Jacob, `Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.'

² And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who [are] with him, `Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

³ and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.'

⁴ And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;

⁵ and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.

⁶ And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,

⁷ and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.

⁸ And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name `Oak of weeping.'

⁹ And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth him;

¹⁰ and God saith to him, `Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his name Israel.

¹¹ And God saith to him, `I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;

¹² and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac -- to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.'

¹³ And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.

¹⁴ And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;

¹⁵ and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel.

¹⁶ And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;

¹⁷ and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this also [is] a son for thee.'

¹⁸ And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

¹⁹ and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Bethlehem,

²⁰ and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

²¹ And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;

²² and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heareth.

²³ And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

²⁴ Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁵ And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.

²⁶ And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.

²⁷ And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.

²⁸ And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,

²⁹ and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

² `Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are coming in unto the land of Canaan -- this [is] the land which falleth to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders --

³ then hath the south quarter been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, yea, the south border hath been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea, eastward;

⁴ and the border hath turned round to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and hath passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it hath gone out at Hazar-Addar, and hath passed on to Azmon;

⁵ and the border hath turned round from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

⁶ `As to the west border, even the great sea hath been to you a border; this is to you the west border.

⁷ `And this is to you the north border: from the great sea ye mark out for yourselves mount Hor;

⁸ from mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;

⁹ and the border hath gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is to you the north border.

¹⁰ `And ye have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;

¹¹ and the border hath gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border hath gone down, and hath smitten against the shoulder of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;

¹² and the border hath gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is for you the land by its borders round about.'

¹³ And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, saying, `This [is] the land which ye inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe;

¹⁴ for the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received, by the house of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers; and the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;

¹⁵ the two tribes and the half of the tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward, at the [sun]-rising.'

¹⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷ `These [are] the names of the men who give to you the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun,

¹⁸ and one prince -- one prince -- for a tribe ye do take to give the land by inheritance.

¹⁹ `And these [are] the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

²⁰ and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;

²¹ of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;

²² and of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki son of Jogli;

²³ of the sons of Joseph, of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel son of Ephod;

²⁴ and of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel son of Shiphtan;

²⁵ and of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan son of Parnach;

²⁶ and of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince Paltiel son of Azzan;

²⁷ and of the tribe of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud son of Shelomi;

²⁸ and of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel son of Ammihud.'

²⁹ These [are] those whom Jehovah hath commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
