Jakob gaat weer naar Bet-El
35 Daarna zei God tegen Jakob: ''Maak je klaar om naar Bet-El te reizen. Ga daar wonen. Bouw er een altaar voor de God die naar je toe gekomen is toen je op de vlucht was voor je broer Ezau." 2 Toen zei Jakob tegen zijn familie en iedereen die bij hem hoorde: "Doe alle godenbeeldjes weg die jullie hebben, maak je klaar voor de Heer en trek schone kleren aan. 3 Daarna reizen we naar Bet-El. Daar zal ik een altaar bouwen voor de God die mij heeft geantwoord toen ik in moeilijkheden was en die aldoor voor mij gezorgd heeft." 4 Toen gaven ze Jakob alle godenbeeldjes die ze hadden en de ringen die ze in hun oren hadden om hen tegen het kwaad te beschermen. Jakob begroef alles onder de eikenboom bij Sichem. 5 Daarna vertrokken ze. God zorgde ervoor dat niemand uit de steden in de omgeving hen durfde te achtervolgen voor wat ze gedaan hadden.
6 Toen Jakob met al zijn mensen in Luz (dat is Bet-El) was aangekomen, in Kanaän, bouwde hij daar een altaar. 7 Hij noemde die plaats El-Bet-El (= 'God van Bet-El'), omdat God daar naar hem toe gekomen was toen hij op de vlucht was voor zijn broer. 8 Toen Debora, de verzorgster van Rebekka, stierf, werd ze onder een eik aan de zuidkant van Bet-El begraven. Sindsdien noemden de mensen die eik 'Tranen-Eik'.
God zegent Jakob opnieuw
9 Toen Jakob van Paddan-Aram teruggekomen was in Kanaän, kwam God opnieuw naar hem toe. Hij zegende hem en zei opnieuw: 10 "Je heet Jakob. Maar voortaan zul je niet meer Jakob (= 'verdringer') genoemd worden, maar Israël (= 'worstelaar met God')." Zo gaf Hij hem dus de nieuwe naam Israël. 11 En Hij zei tegen hem: "Ik ben de Almachtige God. Ik zal ervoor zorgen dat je familie heel groot zal worden. Het zal een heel volk worden. Ja, het zal zelfs tot heel veel volken worden. Er zullen koningen uit jou ontstaan. 12 En dit land dat Ik aan Abraham en Izaäk heb gegeven, zal Ik aan jou geven en aan je familie ná jou." 13 Toen ging God weer bij hem weg. 14 Jakob zette een steen overeind op de plaats waar Hij met hem had gesproken, als een teken. Hij schonk er een offer van wijn en olijf-olie overheen. 15 Hij noemde de plaats waar God met hem had gesproken Bet-El (= 'huis van God').
De dood van Rachel
16 Daarna vertrokken ze uit Bet-El. Toen ze vlak bij Efrat waren, kreeg Rachel een baby. De bevalling ging erg moeilijk. 17 Daarom zei de vrouw die haar erbij hielp: "Wees niet bang, want je hebt weer een zoon." 18 Kort na de bevalling stierf Rachel. Maar ze had haar zoon nog een naam kunnen geven. Ze noemde hem Ben-oni (= 'zoon van mijn pijn'). Maar zijn vader noemde hem Benjamin (= 'zoon van mijn rechterhand'). 19 Zo stierf Rachel. Ze werd begraven langs de weg naar Efrat (dat is Betlehem). 20 Jakob zette op haar graf een steen overeind. Die staat daar nu nog steeds.
21 Daarna brak Israël zijn tenten af en zette ze aan de andere kant van Migdal-Eder weer op. 22 In de tijd dat Israël in dat land woonde, ging zijn oudste zoon Ruben naar bed met Bilha, één van Israëls bijvrouwen. Maar Israël kwam het te weten.
De zonen van Israël
23 Israël had twaalf zonen.
De zonen van Lea waren: Ruben, de oudste zoon van Jakob, verder Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issaschar en Zebulon.
24 De zonen van Rachel waren: Jozef en Benjamin.
25 De zonen van Rachels slavin Bilha waren: Dan en Naftali
26 De zonen van Lea's slavin Zilpa waren: Gad en Aser.
Dit zijn de zonen die Jakob in Paddan-Aram heeft gekregen.
De dood van Izaäk
27 En Jakob kwam terug bij zijn vader Izaäk in Mamré bij Kirjat-Arba (dat is Hebron), waar Abraham en Izaäk als vreemdelingen hadden gewoond. 28 Izaäk werd 180 jaar. 29 Toen stierf hij, oud en tevreden over zijn leven. Zijn zonen Ezau en Jakob begroeven hem.

Jakob aanbidt God bij Betel
35 Daarna zei God tegen Jakob: ‘Breek uw kamp op, ga naar Betel en vestig u daar. Bouw daar een altaar ter ere van de God, die aan u verscheen toen u op de vlucht was voor uw broer Esau.’ 2 Jakob beval ieder lid van zijn huishouding de afgodsbeeldjes die zij hadden meegebracht, weg te doen. Iedereen moest zich wassen en schone kleren aantrekken. 3 ‘Want we gaan naar Betel,’ legde hij uit. ‘Ik zal daar een altaar bouwen voor de God die mijn gebeden verhoorde in moeilijke tijden en die bij mij is geweest tijdens deze reis.’ 4 Allen gaven Jakob hun afgodsbeeldjes en oorringen en hij begroef ze onder de eik bij Sichem.
5 Daarna trokken zij verder. De vrees voor God lag over alle steden die zij passeerden, zodat niemand hen durfde te achtervolgen. 6 Ten slotte kwamen zij bij Luz (ook Betel genoemd) in Kanaän. 7 Jakob bouwde daar een altaar en noemde het El-Betel (de God die bij Betel aan mij is verschenen), want dat was de plaats waar God aan hem verscheen, toen hij op de vlucht was voor Esau. 8 Kort hierna stierf Debora, de oude voedster van Rebekka. Zij werd onder de eik in het dal beneden Betel begraven. Die eik heette voortaan Eik van het verdriet. 9 Toen Jakob in Betel aankwam, op zijn reis vanuit Paddan-Aram, verscheen God opnieuw en zegende hem.
10 En God zei: ‘U zult niet langer Jakob (Bedrieger) worden genoemd, maar Israël (Hij die overwint met God). 11 Ik ben God, de Almachtige, Ik zal u vruchtbaar maken en u tot een groot volk, ja, tot vele volken maken. Er zullen veel koningen onder uw nakomelingen zijn. 12 Ik zal u het land geven dat Ik ook aan Abraham en Isaak heb gegeven. Ja, Ik zal het aan u en uw nakomelingen geven.’ 13 Na die woorden zette Jakob op de plaats waar God aan hem was verschenen, een gedenksteen neer 14 en goot er wijn overheen als een offer aan God. Daarna goot hij er olijfolie overheen. 15 Jakob noemde die plaats Betel (Huis van God), omdat God daar met hem had gesproken.
16 Na het vertrek uit Betel reisden Jakob en zijn huishouding naar Efrat (Bethlehem). Maar onderweg kreeg Rachel weeën, het begin van een moeilijke bevalling. 17 Na de pijnlijke geboorte riep de vroedvrouw uit: ‘Wees niet bang, u hebt weer een zoon!’ 18 En met haar laatste woorden (want zij stierf) noemde Rachel het kind Ben-Oni (Zoon van mijn pijn), maar zijn vader noemde hem Benjamin (Zoon van mijn Rechterhand). 19 Zo stierf Rachel en zij begroeven haar langs de weg naar Efrat (Bethlehem). 20 Jakob zette een stenen monument op haar graf, dat daar tot op heden staat.
21 Israël zette de reis voort en sloeg zijn kamp op bij de Toren van Eder. 22 Daar sliep Ruben met Bilha, zijn vaders bijvrouw, en iemand vertelde dat aan Israël. 23 Dit zijn de namen van de twaalf zonen van Jakob: de zonen van Lea: Ruben, Jakobs oudste kind, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar en Zebulon. 24 De zonen van Rachel: Jozef en Benjamin. 25 De zonen van Bilha, Rachels dienares: Dan en Naftali. 26 De zonen van Zilpa, Leaʼs dienares: Gad en Aser. Al deze zonen kreeg Jakob in Paddan-Aram. 27 Zo kwam Jakob dan eindelijk aan bij zijn vader Isaak te Mamre in Kirjat-Arba (tegenwoordig Hebron), waar ook Abraham had gewoond.
28 Korte tijd later stierf Isaak. Hij was honderdtachtig jaar oud. 29 Zijn zonen Esau en Jakob begroeven hem.

Jacob Returns to Bethel
35 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel(A) and settle there, and build an altar(B) there to God,(C) who appeared to you(D) when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”(E)
2 So Jacob said to his household(F) and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods(G) you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.(H) 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God,(I) who answered me in the day of my distress(J) and who has been with me wherever I have gone.(K)” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears,(L) and Jacob buried them under the oak(M) at Shechem.(N) 5 Then they set out, and the terror of God(O) fell on the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.(P)
6 Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz(Q) (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.(R) 7 There he built an altar,(S) and he called the place El Bethel,[a](T) because it was there that God revealed himself to him(U) when he was fleeing from his brother.(V)
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse,(W) died and was buried under the oak(X) outside Bethel.(Y) So it was named Allon Bakuth.[b]
9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,[c](Z) God appeared to him again and blessed him.(AA) 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,[d] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.[e]”(AB) So he named him Israel.
11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty[f];(AC) be fruitful and increase in number.(AD) A nation(AE) and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.(AF) 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.(AG)”(AH) 13 Then God went up from him(AI) at the place where he had talked with him.
14 Jacob set up a stone pillar(AJ) at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering(AK) on it; he also poured oil on it.(AL) 15 Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.[g](AM)
The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac(AN)
16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath,(AO) Rachel(AP) began to give birth and had great difficulty. 17 And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife(AQ) said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”(AR) 18 As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[h](AS) But his father named him Benjamin.[i](AT)
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath(AU) (that is, Bethlehem(AV)). 20 Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day(AW) that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.(AX)
21 Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.(AY) 22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine(AZ) Bilhah,(BA) and Israel heard of it.
Jacob had twelve sons:
23 The sons of Leah:(BB)
Reuben the firstborn(BC) of Jacob,
Simeon, Levi, Judah,(BD) Issachar and Zebulun.(BE)
24 The sons of Rachel:
25 The sons of Rachel’s servant Bilhah:(BH)
Dan and Naphtali.(BI)
26 The sons of Leah’s servant Zilpah:(BJ)
These were the sons of Jacob,(BM) who were born to him in Paddan Aram.(BN)
27 Jacob came home to his father Isaac(BO) in Mamre,(BP) near Kiriath Arba(BQ) (that is, Hebron),(BR) where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.(BS) 28 Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.(BT) 29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people,(BU) old and full of years.(BV) And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.(BW)

King James Version
35 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Then Jacob said unto 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 unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 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.
5 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.
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 unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10 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.
11 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;
12 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.
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 spake 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 labour.
17 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.
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 upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
22 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:
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's 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's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto 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 unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Jacob’s Return to Bethel
35 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to (A)Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, (B)who appeared to you (C)when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
2 And Jacob said to his (D)household and to all who were with him, “Put away (E)the foreign gods that are among you, (F)purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, (G)who answered me in the day of my distress (H)and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign [a]gods which were in their hands, and the (I)earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under (J)the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
5 And they journeyed, and (K)the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to (L)Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 And he (M)built an altar there and called the place [b]El Bethel, because (N)there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Now (O)Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called [c]Allon Bachuth.
9 Then (P)God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and (Q)blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; (R)your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, (S)but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: (T)“I am God Almighty. (U)Be fruitful and multiply; (V)a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. 12 The (W)land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.” 13 Then God (X)went[d] up from him in the place where He talked with him. 14 So Jacob (Y)set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, (Z)Bethel.
Death of Rachel
16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. 17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; (AA)you will have this son also.” 18 And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name [e]Ben-Oni; but his father called him [f]Benjamin. 19 So (AB)Rachel died and was buried on the way to (AC)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave (AD)to this day.
21 Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond (AE)the tower of Eder. 22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and (AF)lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it.
Jacob’s Twelve Sons
Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23 the sons of Leah were (AG)Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; 24 the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin; 25 the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali; 26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
Death of Isaac
27 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at (AH)Mamre, or (AI)Kirjath Arba[g] (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt. 28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years. 29 So Isaac breathed his last and died, and (AJ)was [h]gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And (AK)his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
