Genesis 35

¹ And saying is the Elohim to Jacob, "Rise, go up to the place at Beth-El and dwell there, and make there an altar to El Who appeared to you when you ran away from the face of Esau, your brother." ² And saying is Jacob to his household and to all who are with him, "Take away the foreign elohim which are in your midst, and clean yourselves, and change your garments. ³ And rise will we and go up to Beth-El, and make will I there an altar to the El Who answered me in the day of my distress, and came to stand by me and saved me in the way which I went." ⁴ And giving are they to Jacob all the foreign elohim which are in their hand, and the pendants which are in their ears. And burying them is Jacob under the terebinth which is at Shechem. ⁵ And journeying is Israel out of Shechem. And coming is the dismay of the Elohim on the cities which surround them, and they do not pursue after the sons of Israel. ⁶ And coming is Jacob toward Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (it is Beth-El), he and all the people who are with him. ⁷ And building is he there an altar, and calling is he the name of the place Beth-El, for there the Elohim was revealed to him when he ran away from the face of Esau, his brother. ⁸ And dying is Deborah, Rebecca's wet-nurse, and entombed is she below Beth-El, under the oak. And calling is Jacob the name of it Alun-Bakuth. ⁹ And appearing is the Elohim to Jacob again in Luz, when he comes from Padan, Syria, and the Elohim is blessing him. ¹⁰ And saying to him is the Elohim, "Your name is Jacob. No longer is your name to be called Jacob, but rather Israel is coming to be your name." And calling is He his name Israel. ¹¹ And saying to him is the Elohim, "I am the El-Who-Suffices. Be fruitful and increase. A nation and an assembly of nations shall come from you, and kings from your loins shall fare forth. ¹² And the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, to you am I giving it. Yours it is; and to your seed after you am I giving the land." ¹³ And ascending is the Elohim from him in the place in which He spoke with him. ¹⁴ And setting up is Jacob a monument in the place in which He spoke with him, a monument of stone. And libating is he on it a libation and pouring on it oil. ¹⁵ And calling is Jacob the name of the place where the Elohim spoke with him, Beth-El. ¹⁶ And journeying is Jacob from Beth-El, and it comes to be still some distance over land to come to Ephrath. And bearing is Rachel, and hard is she having it in her bearing. ¹⁷ And coming is it, as she has it hard in her bearing, then saying to her is the midwife, "You must not fear, for this, moreover, is a son for you!" ¹⁸ And coming is it, when forth fares her soul (for she died), that she is calling his name Ben-oni. Yet his father calls his name Benjamin. ¹⁹ And dying is Rachel, and is being entombed on the way to Ephrath (it is now Bethlehem). ²⁰ And setting up is Jacob a monument over her tomb. It is the monument, the tomb of Rachel, till today. ²¹ And journeying is Israel, and stretching out his tent is he beyond the tower Edar. ²² And coming is it, when Israel tabernacles in that land, that going is Reuben and lying with Bilhah, his father's concubine. And hearing of it is Israel, and evil appears it in his eyes. ²³ And coming are the sons of Jacob to be twelve: The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulon; ²⁴ and the sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin; ²⁵ and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid, Dan, and Naphtali; ²⁶ and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid, Gad, and Ashur. These are the sons of Jacob, who are born to him in Padan, Syria. ²⁷ And coming is Jacob to Isaac, his father, to Mamre, the town of Arba (It is now Hebron), in the land of Canaan, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. ²⁸ And coming are the days of Isaac to be a hundred and eighty years. ²⁹ And expiring is Isaac, and he died, and is gathered to his people, old and satisfied with days. And entombing him are Esau and Jacob, his sons.
