1 God commandeth Jacob to go to Beth-el; he purgeth his houſe of idolſ; 6 and buildeth an altar at Beth-el. 8 Deborah Rebekah's nurſe dieth, and is buried under an oak. 9 God again bleſſeth Jacob, and confirmeth to him the name of Iſrael, and the promiſe of the land of Canaan. 14 Jacob ſetteth up a pillar at Beth-el. 16 Rachel travailing of Benjamin dieth near Bethlehem, and is buried there. 22 Reuben lieth with Bilhah. The twelve ſons of Jacob. 27 Jacob cometh to Iſaac at Hebron. 28 Iſaac's age, death, and burial.

And God ſaid unto Jacob, Ariſe, go up to [1] Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, [2] that appeared unto thee [3] when thou fleddeſt from the face of Eſau thy brother.

2 Then Jacob ſaid unto his [4] houſhold, and to all that were with him, Put away [5] the ſtrange gods that are among you, and [6] 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, [7] who anſwered me in the day of my diſtreſs, [8] 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 [9] earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under [10] the oak which was by Shechem.

5 And they journeyed: and [11] 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 [12] Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him.

7 And he [13] built there an altar, and called the place ‖‖ That is, The God of Beth-el. El-beth-el: becauſe [14] there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 ¶ But [15] Deborah Rebekah's nurſe died, and ſhe was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called ‖‖ That is, the oak of weeping. Allon-bachuth.

9 ¶ And [16] 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: [17] thy name ſhall not be called any more Jacob, [18] but Iſrael ſhall be thy name: and he called his name Iſrael.

11 And God ſaid unto him, [19] I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; [20] a nation and a company of nations ſhall be of thee, and kings ſhall come out of thy loins;

12 And the land [21] 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 [22] went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

14 ¶ And Jacob [23] 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 [24] called the name of the place where God ſpake with him, Beth-el.

16 ¶ And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but †† Heb. a little piece of ground.
2 Kings 5. 19. 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; [25] thou ſhalt have this ſon alſo.

18cir. 1729. And it came to paſs as her ſoul was in departing, (for ſhe died) that ſhe called his name ‖‖ That is, the ſon of my ſorrow. Ben-oni: but his father called him ‖‖ That is, the ſon of the right hand. Benjamin.

19 And [26] Rachel died, and was buried in the way to [27] Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

20 And Jacob ſet a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave [28] unto this day.

21 And Iſrael journeyed, and ſpread his tent beyond [29] the tower of Edar.

22 ¶ And it came to paſs when Iſrael dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and [30] lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Iſrael heard it. Now the ſons of Jacob were twelve:

23 The ſons of Leah; [31] 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 hand- ​maid; 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 [32] Mamre, unto the [33] city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Iſaac ſojourned.

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

291716. And Iſaac gave up the ghoſt, and died, and [34] was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and [35] his ſons Eſau and Jacob buried him.
