Genesis 35:5-18

5And they journeyedH5265: and a greatH430 terrorH2847 was uponH5921 the citiesH5892 that were roundH5439 aboutH1961 them, and they didH834 notH3808 pursueH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290.

6SoH834 JacobH3290 cameH935 to LuzH3870, whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 (the sameH1931 is Beth-el), he and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with him.

7And he builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 El-beth-el: becauseH3588 there GodH430 was revealedH1540 unto him, when he fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251.

8And DeborahH1683 Rebekah’sH7259 nurseH3243 diedH4191, and sheH7121 was buriedH6912 belowH8478 Beth-el underH8478 the oakH437: and the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 Allon-bacuthH439.

9And GodH430 appearedH7200 unto JacobH3290 againH5750, when he cameH935 from Paddan-aramH6307, and blessedH1288 him.

10And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, Thy nameH8034 is JacobH3290: thy nameH8034 shall notH3808 be calledH7121 anyH5750 moreH5750 JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034: and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 IsraelH3478.

11And GodH430 saidH559 unto him, I am GodH430 AlmightyH7706: be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235; a nationH1471 and a companyH6951 of nationsH1471 shall be of thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH1961 outH3318 of thy loinsH2504;

12and the landH776 whichH834 I gaveH5414 unto AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327, to thee I will giveH5414 it, and to thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee will I giveH5414 the landH776.

13And GodH430 wentH5927 upH5927 from him in the placeH4725 whereH834 he spake with him.

14And JacobH3290 setH5324 upH5921 a pillarH4676 in the placeH4725 whereH834 he spake with him, a pillarH4676 of stoneH68: and he pouredH3332 outH3332 a drink offering thereonH5921, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 thereonH5921.

15And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 whereH834 GodH430 spake with him, Beth-el.

16And they journeyedH5265 from Beth-el; and there was stillH5750 someH3530 way to comeH935 to EphrathH672: and RachelH7354 travailed, and she had hardH7185 labour.

17And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when sheH3588 was in hardH7185 labour, that the midwifeH3205 saidH559 unto herH1961, FearH3372 notH408; for nowH1961 thou shalt have anotherH2088 sonH1121.

18And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as herH7121 soulH5315 was in departingH3318 (for sheH3588 diedH4191), that sheH3588 calledH7121 his nameH8034 Ben-oniH1126: but his fatherH1 calledH7121 him BenjaminH1144.
