1And God said unto Jacob , Arise , go up to Beth-el , and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God , that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother . 2Then 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 : 3And let us arise , and go up to Beth-el ; 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 . 4And 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 . 5And 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 .
The Death of Deborah and the Birth of Benjamin
6So Jacob came to Luz , which is in the land of Canaan , that is , Beth-el , he and all the people that were with him. 7And he built there an altar , and called the place El-beth-el : because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother . 8But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died , and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak : and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth . 9And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram , and blessed him. 10And 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 . 11And 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 ; 12And 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 . 13And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 14And 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. 15And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el . 16And they journeyed from Beth-el ; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath : and Rachel travailed , and she had hard labour . 17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour , that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 18And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing , (for she died ) that she called his name Ben-oni : but his father called him Benjamin . 19And Rachel died , and was buried in the way to Ephrath , which is Beth-lehem . 20And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave : that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day . 21And Israel journeyed , and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar .
The Death of Isaac
22And 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 : 23The sons of Leah ; Reuben , Jacob’s firstborn , and Simeon , and Levi , and Judah , and Issachar , and Zebulun : 24The sons of Rachel ; Joseph , and Benjamin : 25And the sons of Bilhah , Rachel’s handmaid ; Dan , and Naphtali : 26And the sons of Zilpah , Leah’s handmaid ; Gad , and Asher : these are the sons of Jacob , which were born to him in Padan-aram . 27And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre , unto the city of Arbah , which is Hebron , where Abraham and Isaac sojourned . 28And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years . 29And 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.
