1 And God * h430 said * h559 h8799 unto Jacob * h3290, Arise * h6965 h8798, go up * h5927 h8798 to Bethel * h1008, and dwell * h3427 h8798 there: and make * h6213 h8798 there an altar * h4196 unto God * h410, that appeared * h7200 h8737 unto thee when thou fleddest * h1272 h8800 from the face * h6440 of Esau * h6215 thy brother * h251.
2 Then Jacob * h3290 said * h559 h8799 unto his household * h1004, and to all that were with him, Put away * h5493 h8685 the strange * h5236 gods * h430 that are among you * h8432, and be clean * h2891 h8690, and change * h2498 h8685 your garments * h8071:
3 And let us arise * h6965 h8799, and go up * h5927 h8799 to Bethel * h1008; and I will make * h6213 h8799 there an altar * h4196 unto God * h410, who answered * h6030 h8802 me in the day * h3117 of my distress * h6869, and was with me in the way * h1870 which I went * h1980 h8804.
4 And they gave * h5414 h8799 unto Jacob * h3290 all the strange * h5236 gods * h430 which were in their hand * h3027, and all their earrings * h5141 which were in their ears * h241; and Jacob * h3290 hid * h2934 h8799 them under the oak * h424 which was by Shechem * h7927.
5 And they journeyed * h5265 h8799: and the terror * h2847 of God * h430 was upon the cities * h5892 that were round about * h5439 them, and they did not pursue * h7291 h8804 after * h310 the sons * h1121 of Jacob * h3290.
6 So Jacob * h3290 came * h935 h8799 to Luz * h3870, which is in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, that is , Bethel * h1008, he and all the people * h5971 that were with him.
7 And he built * h1129 h8799 there an altar * h4196, and called * h7121 h8799 the place * h4725 Elbethel * h416: because there God * h430 appeared * h1540 h8738 unto him, when he fled * h1272 h8800 from the face * h6440 of his brother * h251. Elbethel: that is, The God of Bethel
8 But Deborah * h1683 Rebekah's * h7259 nurse * h3243 h8688 died * h4191 h8799, and she was buried * h6912 h8735 beneath Bethel * h1008 under an oak * h437: and the name * h8034 of it was called * h7121 h8799 Allonbachuth * h439. Allonbachuth: that is, The oak of weeping
9 And God * h430 appeared * h7200 h8735 unto Jacob * h3290 again, when he came * h935 h8800 out of Padanaram * h6307, and blessed * h1288 h8762 him.
10 And God * h430 said * h559 h8799 unto him, Thy name * h8034 is Jacob * h3290: thy name * h8034 shall not be called * h7121 h8735 any more Jacob * h3290, but Israel * h3478 shall be thy name * h8034: and he called * h7121 h8799 his name * h8034 Israel * h3478.
11 And God * h430 said * h559 h8799 unto him, I am God * h410 Almighty * h7706: be fruitful * h6509 h8798 and multiply * h7235 h8798; a nation * h1471 and a company * h6951 of nations * h1471 shall be of thee, and kings * h4428 shall come * h3318 h8799 out of thy loins * h2504;
12 And the land * h776 which I gave * h5414 h8804 Abraham * h85 and Isaac * h3327, to thee I will give it * h5414 h8799, and to thy seed * h2233 after thee * h310 will I give * h5414 h8799 the land * h776.
13 And God * h430 went up * h5927 h8799 from him in the place * h4725 where he talked * h1696 h8765 with him.
14 And Jacob * h3290 set up * h5324 h8686 a pillar * h4676 in the place * h4725 where he talked * h1696 h8765 with him, even a pillar * h4678 of stone * h68: and he poured * h5258 h8686 a drink offering * h5262 thereon, and he poured * h3332 h8799 oil * h8081 thereon.
15 And Jacob * h3290 called * h7121 h8799 the name * h8034 of the place * h4725 where God * h430 spake * h1696 h8765 with him, Bethel * h1008.
16 And they journeyed * h5265 h8799 from Bethel * h1008; and there was but * h5750 a little * h3530 way * h776 to come * h935 h8800 to Ephrath * h672: and Rachel * h7354 travailed * h3205 h8799, and she had hard * h7185 h8762 labour * h3205 h8800. a little...: Heb. a little piece of ground

18 And it came to pass, as her soul * h5315 was in departing * h3318 h8800, (for she died * h4191 h8804) that she called * h7121 h8799 his name * h8034 Benoni * h1126: but his father * h1 called * h7121 h8804 him Benjamin * h1144.

19 And Rachel * h7354 died * h4191 h8799, and was buried * h6912 h8735 in the way * h1870 to Ephrath * h672, which is Bethlehem * h1035.
20 And Jacob * h3290 set * h5324 h8686 a pillar * h4676 upon her grave * h6900: that is the pillar * h4678 of Rachel's * h7354 grave * h6900 unto this day * h3117.
21 And Israel * h3478 journeyed * h5265 h8799, and spread * h5186 h8799 his tent * h168 beyond * h1973 the tower * h4026 of Edar * h4029.
22 And it came to pass, when Israel * h3478 dwelt * h7931 h8800 in that land * h776, that Reuben * h7205 went * h3212 h8799 and lay * h7901 h8799 with Bilhah * h1090 his father's * h1 concubine * h6370: and Israel * h3478 heard * h8085 h8799 it .
