| 1 |
| God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau." |
| 2 |
| So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments. |
| 3 |
| Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God who answers me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone." |
| 4 |
| So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree that was near Shechem. |
| 5 |
| And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. |
| 6 |
| And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him, |
| 7 |
| and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother. |
| 8 |
| And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel. So he called its name Allon-bacuth. |
| 9 |
| God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. |
| 10 |
| And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." So he called his name Israel. |
| 11 |
| And God said to him, "I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body. |
| 12 |
| The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you." |
| 13 |
| Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. |
| 14 |
| And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. |
| 15 |
| So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel. |
| 16 |
| Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor. |
| 17 |
| And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for you have another son." |
| 18 |
| And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. |
| 19 |
| So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), |
| 20 |
| and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel's tomb, which is there to this day. |
| 21 |
| Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder. |
| 22 |
| While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine. And Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. |
| 23 |
| The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. |
| 24 |
| The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. |
| 25 |
| The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali. |
| 26 |
| The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram. |
| 27 |
| And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. |
| 28 |
| Now the days of Isaac were 180 years. |
| 29 |
| And Isaac breathed his last, and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. |
