1And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother. 2Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments: 3and 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. 4And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 5And they journeyed: and a terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. 6So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (that is, Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him. 7And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 8And Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and its name was called Allon-bacuth. 9And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. 10And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called Jacob any more, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel. 11And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins; 12and the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you I will give the land. 13And God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him. 14And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink-offering on it, and poured oil on it. 15And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-el. 16And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor. 17And it happened, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Do not fear; for now you shall have another son. 18And it happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. 19And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (that is, Beth-lehem). 20And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave: that is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder. 22And it happened, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun; 24the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin; 25and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Naphtali; 26and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram. 27And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 28And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years. 29And Isaac breathed his last, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days: and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
