1 ثم قال الله ليعقوب قم اصعد الى بيت ايل وأقم هناك واصنع هناك مذبحا لله الذي ظهر لك حين هربت من وجه عيسو اخيك.2 فقال يعقوب لبيته ولكل من كان معه اعزلوا الآلهة الغريبة التي بينكم وتطهروا وابدلوا ثيابكم.3 ولنقم ونصعد الى بيت ايل. فاصنع هناك مذبحا لله الذي استجاب لي في يوم ضيقتي وكان معي في الطريق الذي ذهبت فيه.4 فاعطوا يعقوب كل الآلهة الغريبة التي في ايديهم والاقراط التي في آذانهم. فطمرها يعقوب تحت البطمة التي عند شكيم5 ثم رحلوا. وكان خوف الله على المدن التي حولهم. فلم يسعوا وراء بني يعقوب.6 فاتى يعقوب الى لوز التي في ارض كنعان وهي بيت ايل. هو وجميع القوم الذين معه.7 وبنى هناك مذبحا ودعا المكان ايل بيت ايل. لانه هناك ظهر له الله حين هرب من وجه اخيه.8 وماتت دبورة مرضعة رفقة ودفنت تحت بيت ايل تحت البلوطة. فدعا اسمها ألون باكوت9 وظهر الله ليعقوب ايضا حين جاء من فدّان ارام وباركه.10 وقال له الله اسمك يعقوب. لا يدعى اسمك فيما بعد يعقوب بل يكون اسمك اسرائيل. فدعا اسمه اسرائيل.11 وقال له الله انا الله القدير. أثمر واكثر. امة وجماعة امم تكون منك. وملوك سيخرجون من صلبك.12 والارض التي اعطيت ابراهيم واسحق لك اعطيها. ولنسلك من بعدك اعطي الارض.13 ثم صعد الله عنه في المكان الذي فيه تكلم معه.14 فنصب يعقوب عمودا في المكان الذي فيه تكلم معه عمودا من حجر. وسكب عليه سكيبا وصب عليه زيتا.15 ودعا يعقوب اسم المكان الذي فيه تكلم الله معه بيت ايل16 ثم رحلوا من بيت ايل. ولما كان مسافة من الارض بعد حتى يأتوا الى افراتة ولدت راحيل وتعسّرت ولادتها.17 وحدث حين تعسّرت ولادتها ان القابلة قالت لها لا تخافي لان هذا ايضا ابن لك.18 وكان عند خروج نفسها لانها ماتت انها دعت اسمه بن أوني. واما ابوه فدعاه بنيامين.19 فماتت راحيل ودفنت في طريق افراتة التي هي بيت لحم.20 فنصب يعقوب عمودا على قبرها. وهو عمود قبر راحيل الى اليوم21 ثم رحل اسرائيل ونصب خيمته وراء مجدل عدر.22 وحدث اذ كان اسرائيل ساكنا في تلك الارض ان رأوبين ذهب واضطجع مع بلهة سرّية ابيه. وسمع اسرائيل وكان بنو يعقوب اثني عشر.23 بنو ليئة رأوبين بكر يعقوب وشمعون ولاوي ويهوذا ويسّاكر وزبولون.24 وابنا راحيل يوسف وبنيامين.25 وابنا بلهة جارية راحيل دان ونفتالي.26 وابنا زلفة جارية ليئة جاد واشير. هؤلاء بنو يعقوب الذين ولدوا له في فدّان ارام27 وجاء يعقوب الى اسحق ابيه الى ممرا قرية اربع التي هي حبرون. حيث تغرب ابراهيم واسحق.28 وكانت ايام اسحق مئة وثمانين سنة.29 فاسلم اسحق روحه ومات وانضمّ الى قومه شيخا وشبعان اياما. ودفنه عيسو ويعقوب ابناه

1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.4 And they gave to 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.5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.8 But Deborah Rebekah' nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.9 And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.10 And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land.13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.14 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.15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.18 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.19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel' grave to this day.21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelled in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father' concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob' 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' handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah' handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
