In the meantime God said to Jacob: Arise, and go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou didst flee from Esau thy brother.

And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed and change your garments.
3 Thoo uh sih lamtah Bethel la cet uh sih. Ka citcai tue vaengah kai aka doo tih ka caeh long ah kai taengah aka om Pathen ham hmueihtuk pahoi ka saii ni,” a ti nah.
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God: who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey.

So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem.

And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,

And calling the name of that place Bethel.
16 Te phoeiah Bethel lamkah puen uh tih Epharath la caeh ham kho te a lak om pueng dae Rakhel te camoe om tih a ca om bahoeng kuel.
And going forth from thence, he came in the springtime to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail,
17 Tedae a ca om a a tloh vaengah anih te ca aka om sak loh, “Tahae kah khaw nang ham tongpa la koep a om dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nah.
By reason of her hard labour she began to be in danger, and the midwife said to her: Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.

And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, The son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, The son of the right hand.
19 Te vaengah Rakhel duek tih Epharath Bethlehem long ah te a up.
So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, this is Bethlehem.
