1. Mose 35

¹And God saith unto Jacob, `Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.'
²And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who `are' with him, `Turn aside the gods of the stranger which `are' in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
³and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.'
⁴And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that `are' in their hand, and the rings that `are' in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which `is' by Shechem;
⁵and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which `are' round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
⁶And Jacob cometh in to Luz which `is' in the land of Canaan (it `is' Bethel), he and all the people who `are' with him,
⁷and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.
⁸And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name `Oak of weeping.'
⁹And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth him;
¹⁰and God saith to him, `Thy name `is' Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his name Israel.
¹¹And God saith to him, `I `am' God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;
¹²and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac -- to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.'
¹³And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.
¹⁴And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;
¹⁵and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel.
¹⁶And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;
¹⁷and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this also `is' a son for thee.'
¹⁸And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
¹⁹and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which `is' Bethlehem,
²⁰and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which `is' the standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
²¹And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;
²²and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heareth.
²³And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
²⁴Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
²⁵And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.
²⁶And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These `are' sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
²⁷And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which `is' Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.
²⁸And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,
²⁹and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
