1Later, God told Jacob, "Get up, move to Bethel, and live there. Build an altar to the God who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."

1Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

2Jacob announced to his household and to everyone with him, "Throw away the foreign gods that you've kept among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.

2So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.

3Then let's get up and go to Bethel, where I'll build an altar to the God who answered me when I was in distress and who was with me on the road, wherever I went."

3Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”

4So they handed over to Jacob all their foreign gods on which they had been depending, along with the rings that they were wearing on their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that grew near Shechem.

4So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.

5As they set out on their journey, because the people who lived in the cities around them feared God, they did not pursue Jacob's sons.

5As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

6Eventually, Jacob and everyone with him arrived at Luz (also called Beth-el) in the territory of Canaan.

6So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

7He built an altar there to God and named the place El Beth-el, because God had revealed himself there when he was fleeing from his brother.

7There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.

8Rebekah's nurse Deborah died and was buried there, under the oak tree that was below Beth-el. That's why the place was named Allon-bacuth.

8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.

9God appeared again to Jacob after he had arrived from Paddan-aram and blessed him.

9After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

10Then God told him, "Your name is Jacob. No longer are you to be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel." So God called his name Israel

10And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.

11and also told him, "I am God Almighty. You are to be fruitful and multiply. You will become a nation— in fact, an assembly of nations! Kings will come from you— they'll emerge from your own loins!

11And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.

12Now as for the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I'm giving it to you and to your descendants who come after you. I'm giving the land to you!"

12The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”

13After this, God ascended from the place where he had been speaking to him.

13Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.

14Jacob erected a pillar of stone at that very place where God had spoken to him. He poured a drink offering over it, anointed it with oil,

14So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.

15and named the place where God had spoken to him Beth-el.

15Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16Later, they set out from Beth-el. While still a long way from Ephrathah, Rachel started to have trouble giving birth.

16Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.

17While she was suffering due to her difficult labor, the midwife told her, "Don't fear! You're going to have another son."

17During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”

18Just before she died, Rachel called her son's name Ben-oni, but his father Jacob named him Benjamin.

18And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrathah, also known as Bethlehem.

19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20Jacob erected a pillar over her grave, and that pillar stands over Rachel's grave to this day.

20Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.

21Jacob continued his travels, and eventually pitched his tent facing Migdal Eder.

21Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.

22But while Israel lived in that land, Reuben went inside his father's tent and had sexual relations with his father's concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.

22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:

23Leah's sons were Reuben (Jacob's first-born), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

23The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24Rachel's sons were Joseph and Benjamin.

24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25Rachel's servant Bilhah's sons were Dan and Naphtali.

25The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26Leah's servant Zilpah's sons were Gad and Asher. These were Jacob's sons who were born to him while he lived in Paddan-aram.

26And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27So Jacob reached his father Isaac at Mamre, in Kiriath-arba (also known as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.

27Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

28Isaac had lived a total of 180 years

28And Isaac lived 180 years.

29when he died and joined his ancestors at a ripe old age. Then his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

29Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
