Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב קוּם עֲלֵה בֵֽית־אֵל וְשֶׁב־שָׁם וַעֲשֵׂה־שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הַנִּרְאֶה אֵלֶיךָ בְּבָרְחֲךָ מִפְּנֵי עֵשָׂו אָחִֽיךָ׃ |
2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
| וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ וְאֶל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ הָסִרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּתֹכְכֶם וְהִֽטַּהֲרוּ וְהַחֲלִיפוּ שִׂמְלֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ |
3 And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an alter to God who hearkened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
| וְנָקוּמָה וְנַעֲלֶה בֵּֽית־אֵל וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הָעֹנֶה אֹתִי בְּיוֹם צָֽרָתִי וַיְהִי עִמָּדִי בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽכְתִּי׃ |
4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
| וַיִּתְּנוּ אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב אֵת כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדָם וְאֶת־הַנְּזָמִים אֲשֶׁר בְּאָזְנֵיהֶם וַיִּטְמֹן אֹתָם יַעֲקֹב תַּחַת הָאֵלָה אֲשֶׁר עִם־שְׁכֶֽם׃ |
5 So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
| וַיִּסָּעוּ וַיְהִי ׀ חִתַּת אֱלֹהִים עַל־הֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֵיהֶם וְלֹא רָֽדְפוּ אַחֲרֵי בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
| וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב לוּזָה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן הִוא בֵּֽית־אֵל הוּא וְכָל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־עִמּֽוֹ׃ |
7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
| וַיִּבֶן שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקוֹם אֵל בֵּֽית־אֵל כִּי שָׁם נִגְלוּ אֵלָיו הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי אָחִֽיו׃ |
8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
| וַתָּמָת דְּבֹרָה מֵינֶקֶת רִבְקָה וַתִּקָּבֵר מִתַּחַת לְבֵֽית־אֵל תַּחַת הָֽאַלּוֹן וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ אַלּוֹן בָּכֽוּת׃ |
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
| וַיֵּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב עוֹד בְּבֹאוֹ מִפַּדַּן אֲרָם וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתֽוֹ׃ |
10 And God said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.
| וַיֹּֽאמֶר־לוֹ אֱלֹהִים שִׁמְךָ יַעֲקֹב לֹֽא־יִקָּרֵא שִׁמְךָ עוֹד יַעֲקֹב כִּי אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל יִהְיֶה שְׁמֶךָ וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
11 And God said to him, I am thy God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
| וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֱלֹהִים אֲנִי אֵל שַׁדַּי פְּרֵה וּרְבֵה גּוֹי וּקְהַל גּוֹיִם יִהְיֶה מִמֶּךָּ וּמְלָכִים מֵחֲלָצֶיךָ יֵצֵֽאוּ׃ |
12 And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to thee; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to thy seed after thee.
| וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לְאַבְרָהָם וּלְיִצְחָק לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה וּֽלְזַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
13 And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
| וַיַּעַל מֵעָלָיו אֱלֹהִים בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אִתּֽוֹ׃ |
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
| וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ מַצֶּבֶת אָבֶן וַיַּסֵּךְ עָלֶיהָ נֶסֶךְ וַיִּצֹק עָלֶיהָ שָֽׁמֶן׃ |
15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
| וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב אֶת־שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ שָׁם אֱלֹהִים בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃ |
16 [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labour.
| וַיִּסְעוּ מִבֵּית אֵל וַֽיְהִי־עוֹד כִּבְרַת־הָאָרֶץ לָבוֹא אֶפְרָתָה וַתֵּלֶד רָחֵל וַתְּקַשׁ בְּלִדְתָּֽהּ׃ |
17 And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son.
| וַיְהִי בְהַקְשֹׁתָהּ בְּלִדְתָּהּ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמְיַלֶּדֶת אַל־תִּירְאִי כִּֽי־גַם־זֶה לָךְ בֵּֽן׃ |
18 And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
| וַיְהִי בְּצֵאת נַפְשָׁהּ כִּי מֵתָה וַתִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ בֶּן־אוֹנִי וְאָבִיו קָֽרָא־לוֹ בִנְיָמִֽין׃ |
19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
| וַתָּמָת רָחֵל וַתִּקָּבֵר בְּדֶרֶךְ אֶפְרָתָה הִוא בֵּית לָֽחֶם׃ |
20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
| וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה עַל־קְבֻרָתָהּ הִוא מַצֶּבֶת קְבֻֽרַת־רָחֵל עַד־הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
21 And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
| וַיִּסַּע יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּט אָֽהֳלֹה מֵהָלְאָה לְמִגְדַּל־עֵֽדֶר׃ |
22 And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
| וַיְהִי בִּשְׁכֹּן יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּאָרֶץ הַהִוא וַיֵּלֶךְ רְאוּבֵן וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֶת־בִּלְהָה פִּילֶגֶשׁ אָבִיו וַיִּשְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵ͏ֽל וַיִּֽהְיוּ בְנֵֽי־יַעֲקֹב שְׁנֵים עָשָֽׂר׃ |
23 The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Zabulon.
| בְּנֵי לֵאָה בְּכוֹר יַעֲקֹב רְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעוֹן וְלֵוִי וִֽיהוּדָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר וּזְבוּלֻֽן׃ |
24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
| בְּנֵי רָחֵל יוֹסֵף וּבִנְיָמִֽן׃ |
25 And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
| וּבְנֵי בִלְהָה שִׁפְחַת רָחֵל דָּן וְנַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
26 And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
| וּבְנֵי זִלְפָּה שִׁפְחַת לֵאָה גָּד וְאָשֵׁר אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּד־לוֹ בְּפַדַּן אֲרָֽם׃ |
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
| וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו מַמְרֵא קִרְיַת הָֽאַרְבַּע הִוא חֶבְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר־גָּֽר־שָׁם אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ יְמֵי יִצְחָק מְאַת שָׁנָה וּשְׁמֹנִים שָׁנָֽה׃ |
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
| וַיִּגְוַע יִצְחָק וַיָּמָת וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל־עַמָּיו זָקֵן וּשְׂבַע יָמִים וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ עֵשָׂו וְיַעֲקֹב בָּנָֽיו׃ |
