01:035:004 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.
01:035:005 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.
01:035:006 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that
is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
01:035:007 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel:
because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his
brother.
01:035:008 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath
Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
01:035:009 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
Padanaram, and blessed him.
01:035:010 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.
01:035:011 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;
01:035:012 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.
01:035:013 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with
him.
01:035:014 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.
01:035:015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with
him, Bethel.
01:035:016 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little
way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
01:035:017 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.
01:035:018 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she
died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him
Benjamin.
01:035:019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which
is Bethlehem.
01:035:020 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of
Rachel's grave unto this day.
01:035:021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower
of Edar.
01:035:022 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:
01:035:023 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and
Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
01:035:024 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
01:035:025 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and
Naphtali:
01:035:026 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher:
these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
