Bereshit 35

Then God said to Jacob: 'Arise, go up to Beth-El, and stay there; and make there an altar to the Power who appeared to you when you fled from before Esau your brother.'

And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him: 'Remove the foreign worshipped-objects which are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments.

And let us arise and go up to Beth-El; and let us make there an altar to the Power who answers me in the day of my distress, and who has been with me in the way which I have walked.'

And they gave to Jacob all the foreign worshipped-objects which they had with them, and the earrings which were in their ears; and he buried them under the terebinth which is over against Nablus (Shechem).

Then they journeyed; and the dread of God was upon the dwellers of the towns which were around them; and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

And Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan — that is Beth-El — he and all the people who were with him.

And he built there an altar; and he called the place Beth-El to the Power — for there had God revealed Himself to him in his flight from before his brother.

And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died; and she was buried below Beth-El, beneath the plain; and he named it the Plain of Weeping.

And God appeared to Jacob again, on his coming from Paddan-Aram; and He blessed him.

And He said to him: 'Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob alone any more, but Israel.' And He named him also Israel.

Then God said to him: 'I am the Sufficient Power; grow and multiply. A nation and a host of nations shall be from you; and kings shall come forth from your loins.

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac — to you shall I give it; and to your offspring after you.'

Then the light of God ascended from him, at the place where He had addressed him.

And Jacob set up a pillar at the place where He had addressed him — a pillar of stone; and he poured upon it a drink-offering, and poured upon it oil.

And Jacob named that place where God had addressed him — Beth-El.

Then they journeyed from Beth-El; and there was still a mile's distance of the way for them to come to Ephrath, when Rachel bore — and her bearing was hard.

And when her bearing was hard, the midwife said to her: 'Fear not, for this too is a son for you.'

And as her soul was going out — for she was dying — she named him Son-of-My-Deathly-Anguish (Ben-Oni); but his father named him Benjamin.

And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath — that is Bethlehem.

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; that is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

Then Israel journeyed on, and pitched his tent from there to Migdal-Eder.

And when Israel dwelt in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's maidservant; and Israel knew of it. And the sons of Jacob — with Benjamin — were twelve:

Sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob; and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah; and Issachar, and Zebulun.

Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant: Dan and Naphtali.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-Aram.

Then Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath-Arba — that is Hebron — where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.

And the lifetime of Isaac was a hundred and eighty years.

And he expired and died, and was gathered to his people — an old man satisfied with years; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
