1Und Gott sprach zu Jakob: Mach dich auf und zieh nach Bethel und wohne daselbst und errichte dort einen Altar dem Gott, der dir erschien, als du flohst vor deinem Bruder Esau. (1Mo 28,11; 1Mo 31,13)2Da sprach Jakob zu seinem Hause und zu allen, die mit ihm waren: Tut von euch die fremden Götter, die unter euch sind, und reinigt euch und wechselt eure Kleider, (1Mo 31,19; 5Mo 27,15; Jos 24,23)3und lasst uns aufbrechen und nach Bethel ziehen, dass ich dort einen Altar errichte dem Gott, der mich erhört hat zur Zeit meiner Trübsal und mit mir gewesen ist auf dem Wege, den ich gezogen bin.4Da gaben sie ihm alle fremden Götter, die in ihren Händen waren, und ihre Ohrringe, und er vergrub sie unter der Eiche, die bei Sichem stand. (Jos 24,26; Ri 9,6)5Und sie brachen auf. Und es kam ein Gottesschrecken über die Städte, die um sie her lagen, sodass sie den Söhnen Jakobs nicht nachjagten. (2Mo 23,27; Jos 10,10)6So kam Jakob nach Lus im Lande Kanaan, das nun Bethel heißt, samt all dem Volk, das mit ihm war,7und er baute dort einen Altar und nannte die Stätte El-Bethel, weil Gott sich ihm daselbst offenbart hatte, als er vor seinem Bruder floh.8Da starb Debora, die Amme der Rebekka, und wurde begraben unterhalb von Bethel unter der Eiche; die wurde genannt die Klageeiche. (1Mo 24,59)9Und Gott erschien Jakob abermals, nachdem er aus Paddan-Aram gekommen war, und segnete ihn10und sprach zu ihm: Du heißt Jakob; aber du sollst nicht mehr Jakob heißen, sondern Israel sollst du heißen. Und so nannte er ihn Israel. (1Mo 32,29)11Und Gott sprach zu ihm: Ich bin der allmächtige Gott; sei fruchtbar und mehre dich! Ein Volk und eine Menge von Völkern sollen von dir kommen, und Könige sollen aus deinen Lenden hervorgehen, (1Mo 17,1; 1Mo 17,6; 1Mo 28,3)12und das Land, das ich Abraham und Isaak gegeben habe, will ich dir geben und will’s deinem Geschlecht nach dir geben.13Und Gott fuhr auf von ihm an der Stätte, da er mit ihm geredet hatte.14Jakob aber richtete ein steinernes Mal auf an der Stätte, da er mit ihm geredet hatte, und goss Trankopfer darauf und begoss es mit Öl. (1Mo 28,18)15Und Jakob nannte die Stätte, da Gott mit ihm geredet hatte, Bethel.
Benjamins Geburt und Rahels Tod
16Und sie brachen auf von Bethel. Und als es noch eine Strecke Weges war bis Efrata, da gebar Rahel. Und es kam sie hart an über der Geburt.17Da ihr aber die Geburt so schwer wurde, sprach die Hebamme zu ihr: Fürchte dich nicht, denn auch diesmal wirst du einen Sohn haben. (1Mo 30,24)18Als ihr aber das Leben entwich und sie sterben musste, nannte sie ihn Ben-Oni, aber sein Vater nannte ihn Ben-Jamin[1].19So starb Rahel und wurde begraben an dem Wege nach Efrata, das nun Bethlehem heißt. (1Mo 48,7; 1Sam 10,2; Jer 31,15; Mi 5,1; Mt 2,18)20Und Jakob richtete einen Stein auf über ihrem Grab; das ist das Grabmal Rahels bis auf diesen Tag.21Und Israel zog weiter und schlug sein Zelt auf jenseits von Migdal-Eder.
Jakobs Söhne
22Und es begab sich, als Israel im Lande wohnte, ging Ruben hin und schlief bei Bilha, seines Vaters Nebenfrau. Und das kam vor Israel. Es hatte aber Jakob zwölf Söhne. (1Mo 49,4; 1Chr 2,1)23Die Söhne Leas waren diese: Ruben, der erstgeborene Sohn Jakobs, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar und Sebulon.24Die Söhne Rahels waren: Josef und Benjamin.25Die Söhne Bilhas, Rahels Magd: Dan und Naftali.26Die Söhne Silpas, Leas Magd: Gad und Asser. Das sind die Söhne Jakobs, die ihm geboren sind in Paddan-Aram.
Jakobs Heimkehr. Isaaks Tod
27Und Jakob kam zu seinem Vater Isaak nach Mamre, nach Kirjat-Arba, das ist Hebron, wo Abraham und Isaak als Fremdlinge gelebt hatten.28Und Isaak wurde hundertachtzig Jahre alt,29verschied und starb und wurde versammelt zu seinen Vätern, alt und lebenssatt. Und seine Söhne Esau und Jakob begruben ihn.
1God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.” (1Mo 27,43; 1Mo 28,19)2So 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. (1Mo 18,19; 1Mo 31,19; 2Mo 19,10; Jos 24,15; Jos 24,23; 1Sam 7,3)3Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God who answers me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone.” (1Mo 28,20; 1Mo 31,3; 1Mo 32,7; 1Mo 32,24)4So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree that was near Shechem. (Jos 24,26; Ri 9,6)5And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.6And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him, (1Mo 28,19)7and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel,[1] because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother. (1Mo 35,1)8And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel. So he called its name Allon-bacuth.[2] (1Mo 24,59)9God appeared[3] to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.10And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. (1Mo 17,5; 1Mo 17,15; 1Mo 32,28)11And God said to him, “I am God Almighty:[4] be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.[5] (1Mo 17,1; 1Mo 17,5; 1Mo 17,16; 1Mo 26,4; 1Mo 28,3; 1Mo 48,4)12The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.” (1Mo 12,7; 1Mo 13,15; 1Mo 17,8; 1Mo 26,3; 1Mo 28,13)13Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. (1Mo 17,22)14And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. (1Mo 28,18; 1Mo 31,45)15So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel. (1Mo 28,19)
The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac
16Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance[6] from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.17And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.” (1Mo 30,24)18And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;[7] but his father called him Benjamin.[8] (Lk 1,59)19So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), (1Mo 48,7; Rut 1,2; Rut 4,11; Mi 5,2; Mt 2,6; Mt 2,16)20and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel’s tomb, which is there to this day. (1Sam 10,2; 2Sam 18,18)21Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.22While Israel lived 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. (1Mo 49,4; 2Sam 16,22; 2Sam 20,3; 1Chr 5,1; 1Kor 5,1)23The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. (1Mo 46,8; 2Mo 1,2)24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.25The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant: Dan and Naphtali.26The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.27And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. (1Mo 13,18; 1Mo 23,2; 1Mo 23,19; Jos 14,15; Jos 15,13)28Now the days of Isaac were 180 years.29And 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. (1Mo 15,15; 1Mo 25,8; 1Mo 25,9; 1Mo 49,31)

King James Version
1And 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.2Then 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:3And 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.4And 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.5And 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.6So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is , Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.7And 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.8But Deborah Rebekah' nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.9And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.10And 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.11And 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;12And 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.13And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.14And 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.15And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.16And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.17And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.18And 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.19And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.20And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel' grave unto this day.21And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.22And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father' concubine: and Israel heard it . Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:23The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob' firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:24The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:25And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel' handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:26And the sons of Zilpah, Leah' handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.27And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.28And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.29And 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.
1Then God said to Jacob, ‘Go up to Bethel and live there. Build an altar there to honour me. That’s where I appeared to you when you were running away from your brother Esau.’2So Jacob spoke to his family and to everyone with him. He said, ‘Get rid of the statues of false gods you have with you. Make yourselves pure by washing and changing your clothes.3Come, let’s go up to Bethel. There I’ll build an altar to honour God. He answered me when I was in trouble. He’s been with me everywhere I’ve gone.’4So they gave Jacob all the statues of false gods they had. They also gave him their earrings. Jacob buried those things under the oak tree at Shechem.5Then Jacob and everyone with him started out. The terror of God fell on the towns all around them. So no one chased them.6Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz. Luz is also called Bethel. It’s in the land of Canaan.7Jacob built an altar at Luz. He named the place El Bethel. There God made himself known to Jacob when he was running away from his brother.8Rebekah’s attendant Deborah died. They buried her body under the oak tree outside Bethel. So it was called Allon Bakuth.9After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again. And God blessed him.10God said to him, ‘Your name is Jacob. But you will not be called Jacob anymore. Your name will be Israel.’ So he named him Israel.11God said to him, ‘I am the Mighty God. Have children so that there will be many of you. You will become the father of a nation and a community of nations. Your later family will include kings.12I am giving you the land I gave to Abraham and Isaac. I will also give it to your children after you.’13Then God left him at the place where he had talked with him.14Jacob set up a sacred stone at the place where God had talked with him. He poured out a drink offering on it. He also poured olive oil on it.15Jacob named the place Bethel. That’s where God had talked with him.
Rachel and Isaac die
16They moved on from Bethel. Ephrath wasn’t very far away when Rachel began to have a baby. She was having a very hard time of it.17The woman who helped her saw that she was having problems. So she said to Rachel, ‘Don’t be afraid. You have another son.’18But Rachel was dying. As she took her last breath, she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.19So Rachel died. She was buried beside the road to Ephrath. Ephrath was also called Bethlehem.20Jacob set up a stone marker over her tomb. To this day, the stone marks the place where Rachel was buried.21Israel moved on again. He set up his tent beyond Migdal Eder.22While Israel was living in that area, Reuben went in and slept with Bilhah. She was the concubine of Reuben’s father. And Israel heard about it. Here are the 12 sons Jacob had.23Leah was the mother of Reuben, Jacob’s eldest son. Her other sons were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.24The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.25The sons of Rachel’s female servant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.26The sons of Leah’s female servant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These were Jacob’s sons. They were born in Paddan Aram.27Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre. Mamre is near Kiriath Arba, where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. The place is also called Hebron.28Isaac lived 180 years.29Then he took his last breath and died. He was very old when he joined the members of his family who had already died. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
1Then God said to Jacob, ‘Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.’2So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, ‘Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.3Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.’4So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.5Then they set out, and the terror of God fell on the towns all around them so that no-one pursued them.6Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.7There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel,[1] because it was there that God revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak outside Bethel. So it was named Allon Bakuth.[2]9After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,[3] God appeared to him again and blessed him.10God said to him, ‘Your name is Jacob,[4] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.[5]’ So he named him Israel.11And God said to him, ‘I am God Almighty[6]; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.12The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.’13Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.14Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.15Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.[7]
The deaths of Rachel and Isaac
16Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.17And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, ‘Don’t despair, for you have another son.’18As she breathed her last – for she was dying – she named her son Ben-Oni.[8] But his father named him Benjamin.[9]19So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).20Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.21Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.22While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it. Jacob had twelve sons:23The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.24The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.25The sons of Rachel’s servant Bilhah: Dan and Naphtali.26The sons of Leah’s servant Zilpah: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.27Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.28Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.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.
