1And Elokim said unto Ya’qub (Jacob), Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto Elokim, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 2Then Ya’qub (Jacob) said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign Elokim 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 unto Elokim, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 4And they gave unto Ya’qub (Jacob) all the foreign Elokim which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Ya’qub (Jacob) hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5And they journeyed: and a terror of Elokim was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Ya’qub (Jacob). 6So Ya’qub (Jacob) came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same 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 Elokim was revealed unto 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 the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

9And Elokim appeared unto Ya’qub (Jacob) again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

10And Elokim said unto him, Thy name is Ya’qub (Jacob): thy name shall not be called any more Ya’qub (Jacob), but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

11And Elokim said unto him, I am Elokim Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

12and the land which I gave unto Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ishaq (Isaac), to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

13And Elokim went up from him in the place where he spoke with him. 14And Ya’qub (Jacob) set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon. 15And Ya’qub (Jacob) called the name of the place where Elokim spoke with him, Beth-el.

16And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. 17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son. 18And it came to pass, 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 (the same is Beth-lehem). 20And Ya’qub (Jacob) set up a pillar upon her grave: the same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day. 21And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22And it came to pass, 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 Ya’qub (Jacob) were twelve: 23The sons of Leah: Reuben, Ya’qub’s first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun; 24the sons of Rachel: Yusuf (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 Ya’qub (Jacob), that were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27And Ya’qub (Jacob) came unto Ishaq (Isaac) his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ishaq (Isaac) sojourned.

28And the days of Ishaq (Isaac) were a hundred and fourscore years. 29And Ishaq (Isaac) gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days: and Esau and Ya’qub (Jacob) his sons buried him.
