1 interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob
surge et ascende Bethel et habita ibi
facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi
quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum
2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua ait
abicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt
et mundamini ac mutate vestimenta vestra
3 surgite et ascendamus in Bethel ut faciamus ibi altare Deo
qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae
et fuit socius itineris mei
4 dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant
et inaures quae erant in auribus eorum
at ille infodit ea subter terebinthum quae est
post urbem Sychem
5 cumque profecti essent
terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates
et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes
6 venit igitur Iacob Luzam quae est in terra Chanaan cognomento Bethel
ipse et omnis populus cum eo
7 aedificavitque ibi altare
et appellavit nomen loci Domus Dei
ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum
8 eodem tempore mortua est Debbora nutrix Rebeccae
et sepulta ad radices Bethel subter quercum
vocatumque est nomen loci quercus Fletus
9 apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob
postquam reversus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae
benedixitque ei
10 dicens
non vocaberis ultra Iacob sed Israhel erit nomen tuum
et appellavit eum Israhel
11 dixitque ei ego Deus omnipotens
cresce et multiplicare
gentes et populi nationum erunt ex te
reges de lumbis tuis egredientur
12 terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac
dabo tibi et semini tuo post te
13 et recessit ab eo
14 ille vero erexit titulum lapideum
in loco quo locutus ei fuerat Deus
libans super eum libamina et effundens oleum
15 vocansque nomen loci Bethel
16 egressus inde venit verno tempore ad
terram quae ducit Efratham
in qua cum parturiret Rahel
17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit
dixitque ei obsetrix noli timere quia et hunc habebis filium
18 egrediente autem anima prae dolore et inminente iam morte
vocavit nomen filii sui Benoni id est filius doloris mei
pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin id est filius dexterae
19 mortua est ergo Rahel
et sepulta in via quae ducit Efratham haec est Bethleem
20 erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius
hic est titulus monumenti Rahel usque in praesentem diem
21 egressus inde fixit tabernaculum trans turrem Gregis
22 cumque habitaret in illa regione
abiit Ruben et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui
quod illum minime latuit
erant autem filii Iacob duodecim
23 filii Liae primogenitus Ruben et Symeon et Levi et Iudas et Isachar et
Zabulon
24 filii Rahel Ioseph et Beniamin
25 filii Balae ancillae Rahelis Dan et Nepthalim
26 filii Zelphae ancillae Liae Gad et Aser
hii filii Iacob qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamiam Syriae
27 venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre civitatem Arbee
haec est Hebron
in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac
28 et conpleti sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum
29 consumptusque aetate mortuus est
et adpositus populo suo senex et plenus dierum
et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui
1 And 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. 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 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. 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 , Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. 7 And 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. 8 But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
9 ¶ And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, 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, Beth-el.
16 ¶ And they journeyed from Beth-el; 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 Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. 19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem. 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 Padan-aram.
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.
