¹And God said to Jacob: Rise, go up to Beth-el and dwell there, and make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

²And Jacob said to his household and to everyone who was with him: Remove the foreign gods that are in your midst, purify yourselves, and change your garments.

³And let us rise and go up to Beth-el; and I will make an altar there to the God who answered me in the day of my distress and was with me on the way that I went.

⁴And they gave to Jacob all the God of the foreigners which is in their hand, and the earrings which is in their ear; and Jacob buried them under the terebinth which is with Shechem.

⁵And they set out; and there was a terror of God upon the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

⁶And Jacob came to Luz, that is Beth-el, which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

⁷And he built an altar there and called the place El-Beth-el, because there God showed himself to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

⁸And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak; and he called its name Allon-bacuth.

⁹And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

¹⁰And God said to him, your name is Jacob; your name will not be called Jacob again, but Israel will be your name. So he called his name Israel.

¹¹And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will go out from your loins.

¹²And the land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you I will give the land.

¹³And God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.

¹⁴And Jacob stationed a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

¹⁵And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him there, Beth-el.

¹⁶And they set out from Beth-el; and there was still a stretch of the land to come to Ephrathah, and Rachel gave birth, and she had a hard time in her giving birth.

¹⁷And it happened, when she had a hard time in her giving birth, that the midwife said to her: Do not be afraid, for this one also is a son for you.

¹⁸And it happened, as her being went out (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin.

¹⁹And Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrathah, that is Beth-lechem.

²⁰And Jacob stationed a pillar over her tomb; it is the pillar of Rachel's tomb to this day.

²¹And Israel set out and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder.

²²And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine; and Israel heard. And Jacob's sons were twelve.

²³The sons of Leah: Jacob's firstborn, Reuben, and Shimon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun.

²⁴The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁵And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's female slave: Dan and Naphtali.

²⁶And the children of Zilpah, the female slave of Leah: Gad and Asher. These are the children of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

²⁷And Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath, she is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac lived.

²⁸And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

²⁹And Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people, old and satisfied of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
