Genesis 35:5-22

5And they journeyedH5265: and the terrorH2847 of GodH430 was upon the citiesH5892 that were round aboutH5439 them, and they did not pursueH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290.

6So JacobH3290 cameH935 to LuzH3870, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, that is, Beth–elH1008, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him. 7And he builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 El–beth–elH416: because there GodH430 appearedH1540 unto him, when he fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251.1 8But DeborahH1683 Rebekah’sH7259 nurseH3243 diedH4191, and she was buriedH6912 beneath Beth–elH1008 under an oakH437: and the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 Allon–bachuthH439.2

9And GodH430 appearedH7200 unto JacobH3290 again, when he cameH935 out of Padan–aramH6307, and blessedH1288 him. 10And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, Thy nameH8034 is JacobH3290: thy nameH8034 shall not be calledH7121 any more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034: and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 IsraelH3478. 11And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, I am GodH410 AlmightyH7706: be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235; a nationH1471 and a companyH6951 of nationsH1471 shall be of thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH3318 out of thy loinsH2504; 12And the landH776 which I gaveH5414 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327, to thee I will give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 will I giveH5414 the landH776. 13And GodH430 went upH5927 from him in the placeH4725 where he talkedH1696 with him. 14And JacobH3290 set upH5324 a pillarH4676 in the placeH4725 where he talkedH1696 with him, even a pillarH4678 of stoneH68: and he pouredH5258 a drink offeringH5262 thereon, and he pouredH3332 oilH8081 thereon. 15And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 where GodH430 spakeH1696 with him, Beth–elH1008.

16And they journeyedH5265 from Beth–elH1008; and there was butH5750 a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 to EphrathH672: and RachelH7354 travailedH3205, and she had hardH7185 labourH3205.3 17And it came to pass, when she was in hardH7185 labourH3205, that the midwifeH3205 saidH559 unto her, FearH3372 not; thou shalt have this sonH1121 also. 18And it came to pass, as her soulH5315 was in departingH3318, (for she diedH4191) that she calledH7121 his nameH8034 Ben–oniH1126: but his fatherH1 calledH7121 him BenjaminH1144.45 19And RachelH7354 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the wayH1870 to EphrathH672, which is Beth–lehemH1035. 20And JacobH3290 setH5324 a pillarH4676 upon her graveH6900: that is the pillarH4678 of Rachel’sH7354 graveH6900 unto this dayH3117.

21And IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and spreadH5186 his tentH168 beyondH1973 the towerH4026 of EdarH4029. 22And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 dweltH7931 in that landH776, that ReubenH7205 wentH3212 and layH7901 with BilhahH1090 his father’sH1 concubineH6370: and IsraelH3478 heardH8085 it. Now the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 were twelveH6240H8147:
