Genesis 35:9-29 ▼

9 And God appears to Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesses him;

10 and God says to him, “Your name [is] Jacob: your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel is your name”; and He calls his name Israel.

11 And God says to him, “I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from you, and kings from your loins go out;

12 and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac—to you I give it, indeed to your seed after you I give the land.”

13 And God goes up from him, in the place where He has spoken with him.

14 And Jacob sets up a standing pillar in the place where He has spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he pours on it an oblation, and he pours on it oil;

15 and Jacob calls the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.

16 And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a distance of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel bears, and is sharply pained in her bearing;

17 and it comes to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife says to her, “Do not fear, for this also [is] a son for you.”

18 And it comes to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calls his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

19 and Rachel dies, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Beth-Lehem,

20 and Jacob sets up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

21 And Israel journeys, and stretches out his tent beyond the Tower of Edar;

22 and it comes to pass in Israel’s dwelling in that land, that Reuben goes, and lies with his father’s concubine Bilhah; and Israel hears.

23 And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob’s firstborn Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 And sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.

26 And sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.

27 And Jacob comes to his father Isaac, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.

28 And the days of Isaac are one hundred and eighty years,

29 and Isaac expires, and dies, and is gathered to his people, aged and satisfied with days; and his sons Esau and Jacob bury him.
