| God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau." |
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־יַעֲקֹב קוּם עֲלֵה בֵית־אֵל וְשֶׁב־שָׁם וַעֲשֵׂה־שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הַנִּרְאֶה אֵלֶיךָ בְּבָרְחֲךָ מִפְּנֵי עֵשָׂו אָחִיךָ׃ | E source Gn.35.1-5
Bethel - God blesses Jacob. Gn.35.1-15 |
| So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments; |
וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־בֵּיתֹו וְאֶל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עִמֹּו הָסִרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּתֹכְכֶם וְהִטַּהֲרוּ וְהַחֲלִיפוּ שִׂמְלֹתֵיכֶם׃ | |
| then let us arise and go up to Bethel, that I may make there an altar to the God who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone." |
וְנָקוּמָה וְנַעֲלֶה בֵּית־אֵל וְאֶעֱשֶׂה־שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הָעֹנֶה אֹתִי בְּיֹום צָרָתִי וַיְהִי עִמָּדִי בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלָכְתִּי׃ | |
| So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was near Shechem. |
וַיִּתְּנוּ אֶל־יַעֲקֹב אֵת כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדָם וְאֶת־הַנְּזָמִים אֲשֶׁר בְּאָזְנֵיהֶם וַיִּטְמֹן אֹתָם יַעֲקֹב תַּחַת הָאֵלָה אֲשֶׁר עִם־שְׁכֶם׃ | |
| And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were round about them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. |
וַיִּסָּעוּ וַיְהִי חִתַּת אֱלֹהִים עַל־הֶעָרִים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֵיהֶם וְלֹא רָדְפוּ אַחֲרֵי בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב׃ | |
| And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him, |
וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב לוּזָה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן הִוא בֵּית־אֵל הוּא וְכָל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־עִמֹּו׃ | P source Gn.35.6a (P); Gn.35.6b-8a
|
| and there he built an altar, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother. |
וַיִּבֶן שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקֹום אֵל בֵּית־אֵל כִּי שָׁם נִגְלוּ אֵלָיו הָאֱלֹהִים בְּבָרְחֹו מִפְּנֵי אָחִיו׃ | |
| And Deb'orah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel; so the name of it was called Al'lon-bacuth. |
וַתָּמָת דְּבֹרָה מֵינֶקֶת רִבְקָה וַתִּקָּבֵר מִתַּחַת לְבֵית־אֵל תַּחַת הָאַלֹּון וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמֹו אַלֹּון בָּכוּת׃ ף | P source Gn.35.8b-13
|
| God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. |
וַיֵּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶל־יַעֲקֹב עֹוד בְּבֹאֹו מִפַּדַּן אֲרָם וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתֹו׃ | |
| And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." So his name was called Israel. |
וַיֹּאמֶר־לֹו אֱלֹהִים שִׁמְךָ יַעֲקֹב לֹא־יִקָּרֵא שִׁמְכָ
עֹוד יַעֲקֹב כִּי אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל יִהְיֶה שְׁמֶךָ וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמֹו יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| And God said to him, "I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall spring from you. |
וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו אֱלֹהִים אֲנִי אֵל שַׁדַּי פְּרֵה וּרְבֵה גֹּוי וּקְהַל גֹּויִם יִהְיֶה מִמֶּךָּ
וּמְלָכִים מֵחֲלָצֶיךָ יֵצֵאוּ׃ | |
| The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you." |
וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לְאַבְרָהָם וּלְיִצְחָק לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה
וּלְזַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. |
וַיַּעַל מֵעָלָיו אֱלֹהִים בַּמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אִתֹּו׃ | |
| And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it. |
וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה בַּמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אִתֹּו מַצֶּבֶת אָבֶן וַיַּסֵּךְ עָלֶיהָ נֶסֶךְ וַיִּצֹק עָלֶיהָ שָׁמֶן׃ | E source Gn.35.14a,c (E); Gn.35.14b,d (E)
|
| So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel. |
וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב אֶת־שֵׁם הַמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אִתֹּו שָׁם אֱלֹהִים בֵּית־אֵל׃ | P source Gn.35.15
Rachel dies in childbirth. Gn.35.15-21 |
| Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. |
וַיִּסְעוּ מִבֵּית אֵל וַיְהִי־עֹוד כִּבְרַת־הָאָרֶץ לָבֹוא אֶפְרָתָה וַתֵּלֶד רָחֵל וַתְּקַשׁ בְּלִדְתָּהּ׃ | E source Gn.36.16-20
|
| And when she was in her hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Fear not; for now you will have another son." |
וַיְהִי בְהַקְשֹׁתָהּ בְּלִדְתָּהּ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמְיַלֶּדֶת אַל־תִּירְאִי כִּי־גַם־זֶה לָךְ בֵּן׃ | |
| And as her soul was departing (for she died), she called his name Ben-o'ni; but his father called his name Benjamin. |
וַיְהִי בְּצֵאת נַפְשָׁהּ כִּי מֵתָה וַתִּקְרָא שְׁמֹו בֶּן־אֹונִי וְאָבִיו קָרָא־לֹו בִנְיָמִין׃ | |
| So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), |
וַתָּמָת רָחֵל וַתִּקָּבֵר בְּדֶרֶךְ אֶפְרָתָה הִוא בֵּית לָחֶם׃ | |
| and Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; it is the pillar of Rachel's tomb, which is there to this day. |
וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה עַל־קְבֻרָתָהּ הִוא מַצֶּבֶת קְבֻרַת־רָחֵל עַד־הַיֹּום׃ | |
| Israel journeyed on, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder. |
וַיִּסַּע יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּט אָהֳלֹה מֵהָלְאָה לְמִגְדַּל־עֵדֶר׃ | J source Gn.35.21-22
|
| While Israel dwelt in that land Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. |
וַיְהִי בִּשְׁכֹּן יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּאָרֶץ הַהִוא וַיֵּלֶךְ רְאוּבֵן וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֶת־בִּלְהָה פִּילֶגֶשׁ אָבִיו וַיִּשְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ף וַיִּהְיוּ בְנֵי־יַעֲקֹב שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר׃ | JACOB's sons. Gn.35.22-26 | 1Chr.2.1-2 |
| The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's first-born), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Is'sachar, and Zeb'ulun. |
בְּנֵי לֵאָה בְּכֹור יַעֲקֹב רְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעֹון וְלֵוִי וִיהוּדָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר וּזְבוּלֻן׃ | P source Gn.35.23-29
|
| The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. |
בְּנֵי רָחֵל יֹוסֵף וּבִנְיָמִן׃ | |
| The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid: Dan and Naph'tali. |
וּבְנֵי בִלְהָה שִׁפְחַת רָחֵל דָּן וְנַפְתָּלִי׃ | |
| The sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram. |
וּבְנֵי זִלְפָּה שִׁפְחַת לֵאָה גָּד וְאָשֵׁר אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּד־לֹו בְּפַדַּן אֲרָם׃ | |
| And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kir'iath-ar'ba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. |
וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו מַמְרֵא קִרְיַת הָאַרְבַּע הִוא חֶבְרֹונ אֲשֶׁר־גָּר־שָׁם אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק׃ | Mamre - Jacob's return - the death of Isaac. Gn.35.27-29 |
| Now the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years. |
וַיִּהְיוּ יְמֵי יִצְחָק מְאַת שָׁנָה וּשְׁמֹנִים שָׁנָה׃ | |
| And Isaac breathed his last; and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. |
וַיִּגְוַע יִצְחָק וַיָּמָת וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל־עַמָּיו זָקֵן וּשְׂבַע יָמִים וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתֹו עֵשָׂו וְיַעֲקֹב בָּנָיו׃ ף | |
