Genesis 35
1 And God said unto Jacob: 'Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there; and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou didst flee 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 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him: 'Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;
| וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ וְאֶל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ הָסִרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּתֹכְכֶם וְהִֽטַּהֲרוּ וְהַחֲלִיפוּ שִׂמְלֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ |
3 and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; 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.'
| וְנָקוּמָה וְנַעֲלֶה בֵּֽית־אֵל וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הָעֹנֶה אֹתִי בְּיוֹם צָֽרָתִי וַיְהִי עִמָּדִי בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽכְתִּי׃ |
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth which was by Shechem.
| וַיִּתְּנוּ אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב אֵת כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדָם וְאֶת־הַנְּזָמִים אֲשֶׁר בְּאָזְנֵיהֶם וַיִּטְמֹן אֹתָם יַעֲקֹב תַּחַת הָאֵלָה אֲשֶׁר עִם־שְׁכֶֽם׃ |
5 And they journeyed; and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
| וַיִּסָּעוּ וַיְהִי ׀ חִתַּת אֱלֹהִים עַל־הֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֵיהֶם וְלֹא רָֽדְפוּ אַחֲרֵי בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan — the same is Beth-el — 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 place El-beth-el, because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
| וַיִּבֶן שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקוֹם אֵל בֵּֽית־אֵל כִּי שָׁם נִגְלוּ אֵלָיו הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי אָחִֽיו׃ |
8 And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.
| וַתָּמָת דְּבֹרָה מֵינֶקֶת רִבְקָה וַתִּקָּבֵר מִתַּחַת לְבֵֽית־אֵל תַּחַת הָֽאַלּוֹן וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ אַלּוֹן בָּכֽוּת׃ |
9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
| וַיֵּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב עוֹד בְּבֹאוֹ מִפַּדַּן אֲרָם וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתֽוֹ׃ |
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.
| וַיֹּֽאמֶר־לוֹ אֱלֹהִים שִׁמְךָ יַעֲקֹב לֹֽא־יִקָּרֵא שִׁמְךָ עוֹד יַעֲקֹב כִּי אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל יִהְיֶה שְׁמֶךָ וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
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;
| וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֱלֹהִים אֲנִי אֵל שַׁדַּי פְּרֵה וּרְבֵה גּוֹי וּקְהַל גּוֹיִם יִהְיֶה מִמֶּךָּ וּמְלָכִים מֵחֲלָצֶיךָ יֵצֵֽאוּ׃ |
12 and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.'
| וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לְאַבְרָהָם וּלְיִצְחָק לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה וּֽלְזַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
13 And God went up from him in 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 He spoke with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.
| וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ מַצֶּבֶת אָבֶן וַיַּסֵּךְ עָלֶיהָ נֶסֶךְ וַיִּצֹק עָלֶיהָ שָֽׁמֶן׃ |
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-el.
| וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב אֶת־שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ שָׁם אֱלֹהִים בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃ |
16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
| וַיִּסְעוּ מִבֵּית אֵל וַֽיְהִי־עוֹד כִּבְרַת־הָאָרֶץ לָבוֹא אֶפְרָתָה וַתֵּלֶד רָחֵל וַתְּקַשׁ בְּלִדְתָּֽהּ׃ |
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the mid-wife said unto her: 'Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.'
| וַיְהִי בְהַקְשֹׁתָהּ בְּלִדְתָּהּ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמְיַלֶּדֶת אַל־תִּירְאִי כִּֽי־גַם־זֶה לָךְ בֵּֽן׃ |
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing — for she died — that she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.
| וַיְהִי בְּצֵאת נַפְשָׁהּ כִּי מֵתָה וַתִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ בֶּן־אוֹנִי וְאָבִיו קָֽרָא־לוֹ בִנְיָמִֽין׃ |
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath — the same is Beth-lehem.
| וַתָּמָת רָחֵל וַתִּקָּבֵר בְּדֶרֶךְ אֶפְרָתָה הִוא בֵּית לָֽחֶם׃ |
20 And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; the same is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
| וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה עַל־קְבֻרָתָהּ הִוא מַצֶּבֶת קְבֻֽרַת־רָחֵל עַד־הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond Migdal-eder.
| וַיִּסַּע יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּט אָֽהֳלֹה מֵהָלְאָה לְמִגְדַּל־עֵֽדֶר׃ |
22 And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now 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 Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;
| בְּנֵי לֵאָה בְּכוֹר יַעֲקֹב רְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעוֹן וְלֵוִי וִֽיהוּדָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר וּזְבוּלֻֽן׃ |
24 the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
| בְּנֵי רָחֵל יוֹסֵף וּבִנְיָמִֽן׃ |
25 and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;
| וּבְנֵי בִלְהָה שִׁפְחַת רָחֵל דָּן וְנַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.
| וּבְנֵי זִלְפָּה שִׁפְחַת לֵאָה גָּד וְאָשֵׁר אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּד־לוֹ בְּפַדַּן אֲרָֽם׃ |
27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriatharba — the same is Hebron — where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
| וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו מַמְרֵא קִרְיַת הָֽאַרְבַּע הִוא חֶבְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר־גָּֽר־שָׁם אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ יְמֵי יִצְחָק מְאַת שָׁנָה וּשְׁמֹנִים שָׁנָֽה׃ |
29 And Isaac expired, and died, and was gathered unto his people, 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׃ |
