35Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."H430H559H3290H6965H5927H1008H3427H6213H4196H410H7200H1272H6440H6215H251 2So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.H3290H559H1004H5493H5236H430H8432H2891H2498H8071 3Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone."H6965H5927H1008H6213H4196H410H6030H3117H6869H1870H1980 4So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.H5414H3290H5236H430H3027H5141H241H3290H2934H424H7927 5Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.H5265H2847H430H5892H5439H7291H310H1121H3290 6Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.H3290H935H3870H776H3667H1008H5971 7There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel, because it was there that God revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.H1129H4196H7121H4725H416H430H1540H1272H6440H251 8Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So it was named Allon Bacuth.H1683H7259H3243H4191H6912H1008H437H8034H7121H439 9After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.H430H7200H3290H935H6307H1288 10God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So he named him Israel.H430H559H8034H3290H8034H7121H3290H3478H8034H7121H8034H3478 11And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.H430H559H410H7706H6509H7235H1471H6951H1471H4428H3318H2504 12The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you."H776H5414H85H3327H5414H2233H310H5414H776 13Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.H430H5927H4725H1696 14Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.H3290H5324H4676H4725H1696H4678H68H5258H5262H3332H8081 15Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.H3290H7121H8034H4725H430H1696H1008 16Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.H5265H1008H5750H3530H776H935H672H7354H3205H7185H3205 17And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for you have another son."H7185H3205H3205H559H3372H1121 18As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.H5315H3318H4191H7121H8034H1126H1H7121H1144 19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).H7354H4191H6912H1870H672H1035 20Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day that pillar marks Rachel's tomb.H3290H5324H4676H6900H4678H7354H6900H3117 21Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.H3478H5265H5186H168H1973H4026H4029 22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father's concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it. Jacob had twelve sons:H3478H7931H776H7205H3212H7901H1090H1H6370H3478H8085H1121H3290H8147H6240 23The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.H1121H3812H7205H3290H1060H8095H3878H3063H3485H2074 24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.H1121H7354H3130H1144 25The sons of Rachel's maidservant Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.H1121H1090H7354H8198H1835H5321 26The sons of Leah's maidservant Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.H1121H2153H3812H8198H1410H836H1121H3290H3205H6307 27Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.H3290H935H3327H1H4471H7153H2275H85H3327H1481 28Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.H3117H3327H3967H8141H8084H8141 29Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.H3327H1478H4191H622H5971H2205H7649H3117H1121H6215H3290H6912
