35God said to Jacob, "Get up! Go to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."H430H559H3290H6965H5927H1008H3427H6213H4196H410H7200H1272H6440H6215H2512So Jacob said to his family and all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your clothes.H3290H559H1004H5493H5236H430H8432H2891H2498H80713We must get up and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to the God who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me everywhere I have gone."H6965H5927H1008H6213H4196H410H6030H3117H6869H1870H19804Then they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and their earrings, and Jacob hid them under the oak near Shechem.H5414H3290H5236H430H3027H5141H241H3290H2934H424H79275When they set out, a terror from God came over the cities around them, and they did not pursue Jacob's sons.H5265H2847H430H5892H5439H7291H310H1121H32906So Jacob and all who were with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.H3290H935H3870H776H3667H1008H59717Jacob built an altar there and called the place God of Bethel because it was there that God had revealed Himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.H1129H4196H7121H4725H416H430H1540H1272H6440H2518Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak south of Bethel. So Jacob named it Oak of Weeping.H1683H7259H3243H4191H6912H1008H437H8034H7121H4399God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.H430H7200H3290H935H6307H128810God said to him: Your name is Jacob; you will no longer be named Jacob, but Israel will be your name. So He named him Israel.H430H559H8034H3290H8034H7121H3290H3478H8034H7121H8034H347811God also said to him: I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will come from you, and kings will descend from you.H430H559H410H7706H6509H7235H1471H6951H1471H4428H3318H250412The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you. And I will give the land to your descendants after you.H776H5414H85H3327H5414H2233H310H5414H77613Then God withdrew from him at the place where He had spoken to him.H430H5927H4725H169614Jacob set up a marker at the place where He had spoken to him— a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.H3290H5324H4676H4725H1696H4678H68H5258H5262H3332H808115Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.H3290H7121H8034H4725H430H1696H1008
Rachel’s Death
16They set out from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.H5265H1008H5750H3530H776H935H672H7354H3205H7185H320517During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for this is another son for you."H7185H3205H3205H559H3372H112118With her last breath— for she was dying— she named him Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin.H5315H3318H4191H7121H8034H1126H1H7121H114419So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).H7354H4191H6912H1870H672H103520Jacob set up a marker on her grave; it is the marker at Rachel's grave to this day.H3290H5324H4676H6900H4678H7354H6900H3117
Israel’s Sons
21Israel set out again and pitched his tent beyond the tower at Eder.H3478H5265H5186H168H1973H4026H402922While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father's concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had 12 sons:H3478H7931H776H7205H3212H7901H1090H1H6370H3478H8085H1121H3290H8147H624023Leah's sons were Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.H1121H3812H7205H3290H1060H8095H3878H3063H3485H207424Rachel's sons were Joseph and Benjamin.H1121H7354H3130H114425The sons of Rachel's slave Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.H1121H1090H7354H8198H1835H532126The sons of Leah's slave Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.H1121H2153H3812H8198H1410H836H1121H3290H3205H6307
