Verse | |
1. And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. | |
2. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: | |
3. And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. | |
4. And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. | |
5. And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. | |
6. So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. | |
7. And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. | |
8. But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. | |
9. And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. | |
10. And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. | |
11. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; | |
12. And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. | |
13. And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. | |
14. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. | |
15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel. | |
16. And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. | |
17. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. | |
18. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. | |
19. And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. | |
20. And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. | |
21. And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. | |
22. And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: | |
23. The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: | |
24. The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: | |
25. And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: | |
26. And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram. | |
27. And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. | |
28. And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. | |
29. And Isaac gave up the Ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. |
