Bereishis 35
Bereishis (Book of Genesis), Chapter 35
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 And G-d said unto Jacob: 'Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there; and make there an altar unto G-d, who appeared unto thee when thou didst flee from the face of Esau thy brother.'
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him: 'Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto G-d, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.'
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth which was by Shechem.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 And they journeyed; and a terror of G-d was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan--the same is Beth-el--he and all the people that were with him.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el, because there G-d was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 And G-d appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 And G-d 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.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 And G-d said unto him: 'I am G-d Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.'
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 And G-d went up from him in the place where He spoke with him.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000D-QINU`"'14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He spoke with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000E-QINU`"'15 And Jacob called the name of the place where G-d spoke with him, Beth-el.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000F-QINU`"'16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000010-QINU`"'17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the mid-wife said unto her: 'Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.'
'"`UNIQ--named-00000011-QINU`"'18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing--for she died--that she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000012-QINU`"'19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath--the same is Beth-lehem.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000013-QINU`"'20 And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; the same is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000014-QINU`"'21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond Migdal-eder.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000015-QINU`"'22 And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
'"`UNIQ--named-00000016-QINU`"'23 the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000017-QINU`"'24 the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000018-QINU`"'25 and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000019-QINU`"'26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001A-QINU`"'27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriatharba--the same is Hebron--where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001B-QINU`"'28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000001C-QINU`"'29 And Isaac expired, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
