And God said
unto Jacob
, Arise
, go up
to Bethel
, and dwell
there: and make
there an altar
unto God
, that appeared
unto thee when thou fleddest
from the face
of Esau
thy brother
.
Then Jacob said
unto his household
, and to all that were with him, Put away
the strange
gods
that are among you
, and be clean
, and change
your garments
:
And let us arise, and go up
to Bethel
; and I will make
there an altar
unto God
, who answered
me in the day
of my distress
, and was with me in the way
which I went
.
And they gave unto Jacob
all the strange
gods
which were in their hand
, and all their earrings
which were in their ears
; and Jacob
hid
them under the oak
which was by Shechem
.
And they journeyed: and the terror
of God
was upon the cities
that were round about
them, and they did not pursue
after
the sons
of Jacob
.
So Jacob came
to Luz
, which is in the land
of Canaan
, that is , Bethel
, he and all the people
that were with him.
And he built there an altar
, and called
the place
Elbethel
: because there God
appeared
unto him, when he fled
from the face
of his brother
.
But Deborah Rebekah's
nurse
died
, and she was buried
beneath Bethel
under an oak
: and the name
of it was called
Allonbachuth
.
And God appeared
unto Jacob
again, when he came
out of Padanaram
, and blessed
him.
And God said
unto him, Thy name
is Jacob
: thy name
shall not be called
any more Jacob
, but Israel
shall be thy name
: and he called
his name
Israel
.
And God said
unto him, I am God
Almighty
: be fruitful
and multiply
; a nation
and a company
of nations
shall be of thee, and kings
shall come
out of thy loins
;
And the land which I gave
Abraham
and Isaac
, to thee I will give it
, and to thy seed
after thee
will I give
the land
.
And God went up
from him in the place
where he talked
with him.
And Jacob set up
a pillar
in the place
where he talked
with him, even a pillar
of stone
: and he poured
a drink offering
thereon, and he poured
oil
thereon.
And Jacob called
the name
of the place
where God
spake
with him, Bethel
.
And they journeyed from Bethel
; and there was but
a little
way
to come
to Ephrath
: and Rachel
travailed
, and she had hard
labour
.
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour
, that the midwife
said
unto her, Fear
not; thou shalt have this son
also.
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing
, (for she died
) that she called
his name
Benoni
: but his father
called
him Benjamin
.
And Rachel died
, and was buried
in the way
to Ephrath
, which is Bethlehem
.
And Jacob set
a pillar
upon her grave
: that is the pillar
of Rachel's
grave
unto this day
.
And Israel journeyed
, and spread
his tent
beyond
the tower
of Edar
.
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt
in that land
, that Reuben
went
and lay
with Bilhah
his father's
concubine
: and Israel
heard
it . Now the sons
of Jacob
were twelve
:
The sons of Leah
; Reuben
, Jacob's
firstborn
, and Simeon
, and Levi
, and Judah
, and Issachar
, and Zebulun
:
The sons of Rachel
; Joseph
, and Benjamin
:
And the sons of Bilhah
, Rachel's
handmaid
; Dan
, and Naphtali
:
And the sons of Zilpah
, Leah's
handmaid
; Gad
, and Asher
: these are the sons
of Jacob
, which were born
to him in Padanaram
.
And Jacob came
unto Isaac
his father
unto Mamre
, unto the city of Arbah
, which is Hebron
, where Abraham
and Isaac
sojourned
.
And the days of Isaac
were an hundred
and fourscore
years
.
And Isaac gave up the ghost
, and died
, and was gathered
unto his people
, being old
and full
of days
: and his sons
Esau
and Jacob
buried
him.
