And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

Then Jacob said to 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 Thoo uhsih 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.

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 Te dongah amih kut kah kholong pathenrhoek boeih neh a hna dongkah hnaii te Jakob taengaha paek uh tih Jakob loh Shekhem taengkah rhokael hmuiaha up.

And they gave to 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 Tedaea caeh uh neh Pathen kah mueirhih loh khopuei kaepvai ah yaal tih Jakob ca te hloem uh pawh.

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

6 Te phoeiah Jakob neh amah taengkah a pilnam boeih loh Kanaan kho kah Luz Bethel tea pha uh.

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

10 Te vaengah Pathen loh anih te, “Na ming he Jakob dae na mingte Jakob la n'khue voel pawt vetih Israel ni nang ming la aka om eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah a ming te Israellaa khue bal.

And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.

And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land.

And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.
