1Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."

1Later, God told Jacob, "Get up, move to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to the God who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."

2So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

2Jacob announced to his household and to everyone with him, "Throw away the foreign gods that you've kept among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.

3Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone."

3Then let's get up and go to Bethel, where I'll build an altar to the God who answered me when I was in distress and who was with me on the road, wherever I went."

4So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.

4So they handed over to Jacob all their foreign gods on which they had been depending, along with the rings that they were wearing on their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that grew near Shechem.

6Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

7There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel, because it was there that God revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

7He built an altar there to God and named the place El Beth-el, because God had revealed himself there when he was fleeing from his brother.

8Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak outside Bethel. So it was named Allon Bakuth.

11And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.

11and also told him, "I am God Almighty. You are to be fruitful and multiply. You will become a nation— in fact, an assembly of nations! Kings will come from you— they'll emerge from your own loins!

12The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you."

12Now as for the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I'm giving it to you and to your descendants who come after you. I'm giving the land to you!"

13Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.

16Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.

16Later, they set out from Beth-el. While still a long way from Ephrathah, Rachel started to have trouble giving birth.

17And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, "Don't despair, for you have another son."

17While she was suffering due to her difficult labor, the midwife told her, "Don't fear! You're going to have another son."

18As she breathed her last--for she was dying--she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

18Just before she died, Rachel called her son's name Ben-oni, but his father Jacob named him Benjamin.

19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
