Dual Panel1Then God <0430> said <0559> to <0413> Jacob <03290>, “Go up <05927> <06965> at once to Bethel <01008> and live <03427> there <08033>. Make <06213> an altar <04196> there <08033> to God <0410>, who appeared <07200> to <0413> you when you fled <01272> from <06440> your brother <0251> Esau <06215>.”
2So Jacob <03290> told <0559> his household <01004> and all <03605> who <0834> were with <05973> him, “Get rid <05493> of the foreign <05236> gods <0430> you have among <08432> you. Purify <02891> yourselves and change <02498> your clothes <08071>.
3Let us go up <05927> at once to Bethel <01008> <00>. Then I will make <06213> an altar <04196> there <08033> to God <0410>, who responded <06030> to me in my time <03117> of distress <06869> and has been <01961> with me <05978> wherever <0834> <01870> I went <01980>.”
4So they gave <05414> Jacob <03290> all <03605> the foreign <05236> gods <0430> that <0834> were in their possession <03027> and the rings <05141> that <0834> were in their ears <0241>. Jacob <03290> buried <02934> them under <08478> the oak <0424> near <05973> Shechem <07927>
5and they started <05265> on their journey <05265>. The surrounding <05439> cities <05892> were <01961> afraid <02847> of God <0430>, and they did not <03808> pursue <07291> the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290>.
6Jacob <03290> and all <03605> those <05971> who <0834> were <05973> with him arrived <0935> at Luz <03870> (that <0834> is, Bethel <01008>) in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
7He built <01129> an altar <04196> there <08033> and named <07121> the place <04725> El <0410> Bethel <01008> because <03588> there <08033> God <0430> had revealed <01540> himself to <0413> him when he was fleeing <01272> from <06440> his brother <0251>.
8(Deborah <01683>, Rebekah’s <07259> nurse <03243>, died <04191> and was buried <06912> under <08478> the oak <0437> below <08478> Bethel <01008>; thus it was named <08034> <07121> Oak of Weeping <0439>.)
9God <0430> appeared <07200> to <0413> Jacob <03290> again <05750> after he returned <0935> from Paddan Aram <06307> and blessed <01288> him.
10God <0430> said <0559> to him, “Your name <08034> is Jacob <03290>, but <0518> <03588> your name <08034> will no <03808> longer <05750> be called <07121> Jacob <03290>; Israel <03478> will be <01961> your name <08034>.” So God named <08034> <07121> him Israel <03478>.
11Then God <0430> said <0559> to him, “I <0589> am the sovereign <07706> God <0410>. Be fruitful <06509> and multiply <07235>! A nation <01471>– even a company <06951> of nations <01471>– will descend <03318> from <04480> you; kings <04428> will be <01961> among your descendants <02504>!
12The land <0776> I gave <05414> to Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327> I will give <05414> to you. To your descendants <02233> I will also give <05414> this land <0776>.”
13Then God <0430> went up <05927> from <05921> the place <04725> where <0834> he spoke <01696> with <0854> him.
14So Jacob <03290> set up <05324> a sacred <04678> stone <068> pillar <04676> in the place <04725> where <0834> God spoke <01696> with <0854> him. He poured out <05258> a drink offering <05262> on it, and then he poured <03332> oil <08081> on <05921> it.
15Jacob <03290> named <08034> <07121> the place <04725> where <08033> <0834> God <0430> spoke <01696> with <0854> him Bethel <01008>.
16They traveled <05265> on from Bethel <01008>, and when Ephrath <0672> was <01961> still <05750> some distance away <0776> <03530>, Rachel <07354> went <0935> into labor <03205>– and her labor <03205> was hard <07185>.
17When <01961> her labor <03205> was at its hardest <07185>, the midwife <03205> said <0559> to her, “Don’t <0408> be afraid <03372>, for <03588> you are having another son <01121>.”
18With her dying <04191> breath, she named <08034> him Ben-Oni <01126>. But his father <01> called <07121> him Benjamin <01144> instead.
19So Rachel <07354> died <04191> and was buried <06912> on the way <01870> to Ephrath <0672> (that <01931> is, Bethlehem <01035>).
20Jacob <03290> set up <05324> a marker <04676> over <05921> her grave <06900>; it <01931> is the Marker <04678> of Rachel’s <07354> Grave <06900> to <05704> this day <03117>.
21Then Israel <03478> traveled <05265> on and pitched <05186> his tent <0168> beyond <01973> Migdal Eder <04029>.
22While Israel <03478> was <01961> living <07931> in that <01931> land <0776>, Reuben <07205> had sexual relations <07901> <01980> with Bilhah <01090>, his father’s <01> concubine <06370>, and Israel <03478> heard <08085> about it. Jacob <03290> had <01961> twelve <06240> <08147> sons <01121>:
23The sons <01121> of Leah <03812> were Reuben <07205>, Jacob’s <03290> firstborn <01060>, as well as Simeon <08095>, Levi <03878>, Judah <03063>, Issachar <03485>, and Zebulun <02074>.
24The sons <01121> of Rachel <07354> were Joseph <03130> and Benjamin <01144>.
25The sons <01121> of Bilhah <01090>, Rachel’s <07354> servant <08198>, were Dan <01835> and Naphtali <05321>.
26The sons <01121> of Zilpah <02153>, Leah’s <03812> servant <08198>, were Gad <01410> and Asher <0836>. These <0428> were the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> who <0834> were born <03205> to him in Paddan Aram <06307>.
27So Jacob <03290> came <0935> back to <0413> his father <01> Isaac <03327> in Mamre <04471>, to Kiriath Arba <07153> (that <01931> is, Hebron <02275>), where <08033> <0834> Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327> had stayed <01481>.
28Isaac <03327> lived to be 180 <08084> <03967> years <08141> <08141> old.
29Then Isaac <03327> breathed his last <01478> and joined <0622> his ancestors <05971>. He died <04191> an old man <02205> who had lived a full <07649> life <03117>. His sons <01121> Esau <06215> and Jacob <03290> buried <06912> him.
