¹ ثم قال الله ليعقوب قم اصعد الى بيت ايل وأقم هناك واصنع هناك مذبحا لله الذي ظهر لك حين هربت من وجه عيسو اخيك.

² فقال يعقوب لبيته ولكل من كان معه اعزلوا الآلهة الغريبة التي بينكم وتطهروا وابدلوا ثيابكم.

³ ولنقم ونصعد الى بيت ايل. فاصنع هناك مذبحا لله الذي استجاب لي في يوم ضيقتي وكان معي في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.

⁴ فاعطوا يعقوب كل الآلهة الغريبة التي في ايديهم والاقراط التي في آذانهم. فطمرها يعقوب تحت البطمة التي عند شكيم

⁵ ثم رحلوا. وكان خوف الله على المدن التي حولهم. فلم يسعوا وراء بني يعقوب.

⁶ فاتى يعقوب الى لوز التي في ارض كنعان وهي بيت ايل. هو وجميع القوم الذين معه.

⁷ وبنى هناك مذبحا ودعا المكان ايل بيت ايل. لانه هناك ظهر له الله حين هرب من وجه اخيه.

⁸ وماتت دبورة مرضعة رفقة ودفنت تحت بيت ايل تحت البلوطة. فدعا اسمها ألون باكوت

⁹ وظهر الله ليعقوب ايضا حين جاء من فدّان ارام وباركه.

¹⁰ وقال له الله اسمك يعقوب. لا يدعى اسمك فيما بعد يعقوب بل يكون اسمك اسرائيل. فدعا اسمه اسرائيل.

¹¹ وقال له الله انا الله القدير. أثمر واكثر. امة وجماعة امم تكون منك. وملوك سيخرجون من صلبك.

¹² والارض التي اعطيت ابراهيم واسحق لك اعطيها. ولنسلك من بعدك اعطي الارض.

¹³ ثم صعد الله عنه في المكان الذي فيه تكلم معه.

¹⁴ فنصب يعقوب عمودا في المكان الذي فيه تكلم معه عمودا من حجر. وسكب عليه سكيبا وصب عليه زيتا.

¹⁵ ودعا يعقوب اسم المكان الذي فيه تكلم الله معه بيت ايل

¹⁶ ثم رحلوا من بيت ايل. ولما كان مسافة من الارض بعد حتى يأتوا الى افراتة ولدت راحيل وتعسّرت ولادتها.

¹⁷ وحدث حين تعسّرت ولادتها ان القابلة قالت لها لا تخافي لان هذا ايضا ابن لك.

¹⁸ وكان عند خروج نفسها لانها ماتت انها دعت اسمه بن أوني. واما ابوه فدعاه بنيامين.

¹⁹ فماتت راحيل ودفنت في طريق افراتة التي هي بيت لحم.

²⁰ فنصب يعقوب عمودا على قبرها. وهو عمود قبر راحيل الى اليوم

²¹ ثم رحل اسرائيل ونصب خيمته وراء مجدل عدر.

²² وحدث اذ كان اسرائيل ساكنا في تلك الارض ان رأوبين ذهب واضطجع مع بلهة سرّية ابيه. وسمع اسرائيل وكان بنو يعقوب اثني عشر.

²³ بنو ليئة رأوبين بكر يعقوب وشمعون ولاوي ويهوذا ويسّاكر وزبولون.

²⁴ وابنا راحيل يوسف وبنيامين.

²⁵ وابنا بلهة جارية راحيل دان ونفتالي.

²⁶ وابنا زلفة جارية ليئة جاد واشير. هؤلاء بنو يعقوب الذين ولدوا له في فدّان ارام

²⁷ وجاء يعقوب الى اسحق ابيه الى ممرا قرية اربع التي هي حبرون. حيث تغرب ابراهيم واسحق.

²⁸ وكانت ايام اسحق مئة وثمانين سنة.

²⁹ فاسلم اسحق روحه ومات وانضمّ الى قومه شيخا وشبعان اياما. ودفنه عيسو ويعقوب ابناه

¹ "To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: "He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things:

² "I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can't tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

³ You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have not grown weary.

⁴ But I have this against you, that you left your first love.

⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.

⁶ But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

⁸ "To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: "The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

⁹ "I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

¹⁰ Don't be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.

¹² "To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword says these things:

¹³ "I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn't deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

¹⁵ So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.

¹⁶ Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

¹⁸ "To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: "The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

¹⁹ "I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

²⁰ But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

²¹ I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.

²² Behold, I will throw her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her works.

²³ I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

²⁴ But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as don't have this teaching, who don't know what some call 'the deep things of Satan,' to you I say, I am not putting any other burden on you.

²⁵ Nevertheless, hold that which you have firmly until I come.

²⁶ He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

²⁷ He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

²⁸ and I will give him the morning star.

²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
