Chapître 35

1

And God said⁴ unto Jacob, Arise,³ go up³ to Bethel, and dwell³ there: and make³ there an altar unto God, that appeared¹² unto thee when thou fleddest² from the face of Esau thy brother.

2

Then Jacob said⁴ unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away⁵⁴ the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean,¹⁰⁰ and change⁵⁴ your garments:

3

And let us arise,⁴ and go up⁴ to Bethel; and I will make⁴ there an altar unto God, who answered⁶ me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.¹

4

And they gave⁴ unto Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid⁴ them under the oak which [was] by Shechem.

5

And they journeyed:⁴ and the terror of God was upon the cities that [were] round about them, and they did not pursue¹ after the sons of Jacob.

6

So Jacob came⁴ to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that [is], Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him.

7

And he built⁴ there an altar, and called⁴ the place Elbethel: because there God appeared⁸ unto him, when he fled² from the face of his brother.

8

But Deborah Rebekah's nurse⁵⁶ died,⁴ and she was buried¹¹ beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called⁴ Allonbachuth.

9

And God appeared¹¹ unto Jacob again, when he came² out of Padanaram, and blessed¹⁷ him.

10

And God said⁴ unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name shall not be called¹¹ any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called⁴ his name Israel.

11

And God said⁴ unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful³ and multiply;³ a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out⁴ of thy loins;

12

And the land which I gave¹ Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give⁴ it, and to thy seed after thee will I give⁴ the land.

13

And God went up⁴ from him in the place where he talked¹⁴ with him.

14

And Jacob set up⁵⁵ a pillar in the place where he talked¹⁴ with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured⁵⁵ a drink offering thereon, and he poured⁴ oil thereon.

15

And Jacob called⁴ the name of the place where God spake¹⁴ with him, Bethel.

16

And they journeyed⁴ from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come² to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed,⁴ and she had hard¹⁷ labour.²

17

And it came to pass, when she was in hard⁵³ labour,² that the midwife¹⁸ said⁴ unto her, Fear⁴ not; thou shalt have this son also.

18

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing,² (for she died)¹ that she called⁴ his name Benoni: but his father called¹ him Benjamin.

19

And Rachel died,⁴ and was buried¹¹ in the way to Ephrath, which [is] Bethlehem.

20

And Jacob set⁵⁵ a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

21

And Israel journeyed,⁴ and spread⁴ his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

22

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt² in that land, that Reuben went⁴ and lay⁴ with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard⁴ [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: ⁶²⁴⁰

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 born²⁷ to him in Padanaram.

27

And Jacob came⁴ unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.¹

28

And the days of Isaac were an hundred ⁸¹⁴¹ and fourscore years.

29

And Isaac gave up the ghost,⁴ and died,⁴ and was gathered¹¹ unto his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried⁴ him.
