Genesis 35
1 And God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב קוּם עֲלֵה בֵֽית־אֵל וְשֶׁב־שָׁם וַעֲשֵׂה־שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הַנִּרְאֶה אֵלֶיךָ בְּבׇרְחֲךָ מִפְּנֵי עֵשָׂו אָחִֽיךָ׃ |
2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods that you have among you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.
| וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ וְאֶל כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ הָסִרוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּתֹכְכֶם וְהִֽטַּהֲרוּ וְהַחֲלִיפוּ שִׂמְלֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ |
3 Let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I went."
| וְנָקוּמָה וְנַעֲלֶה בֵּֽית־אֵל וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לָאֵל הָעֹנֶה אֹתִי בְּיוֹם צָֽרָתִי וַיְהִי עִמָּדִי בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלָֽכְתִּי׃ |
4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that was near Shechem.
| וַיִּתְּנוּ אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב אֵת כׇּל־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדָם וְאֶת־הַנְּזָמִים אֲשֶׁר בְּאׇזְנֵיהֶם וַיִּטְמֹן אֹתָם יַעֲקֹב תַּחַת הָאֵלָה אֲשֶׁר עִם־שְׁכֶֽם׃ |
5 Then they set out, and a terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
| וַיִּסָּעוּ וַיְהִי ׀ חִתַּת אֱלֹהִים עַל־הֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבוֹתֵיהֶם וְלֹא רָֽדְפוּ אַחֲרֵי בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
| וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב לוּזָה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן הִוא בֵּֽית־אֵל הוּא וְכׇל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־עִמּֽוֹ׃ |
7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
| וַיִּבֶן שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקוֹם אֵל בֵּֽית־אֵל כִּי שָׁם נִגְלוּ אֵלָיו הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּבׇרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי אָחִֽיו׃ |
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak outside Bethel. So he called its name Allon Bakuth.
| וַתָּמׇת דְּבֹרָה מֵינֶקֶת רִבְקָה וַתִּקָּבֵר מִתַּחַת לְבֵֽית־אֵל תַּחַת הָֽאַלּוֹן וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ אַלּוֹן בָּכֽוּת׃ |
9 And God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.
| וַיֵּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹב עוֹד בְּבֹאוֹ מִפַּדַּן אֲרָם וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתֽוֹ׃ |
10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but your name will be Israel." So 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 El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.
| וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֱלֹהִים אֲנִי אֵל שַׁדַּי פְּרֵה וּרְבֵה גּוֹי וּקְהַל גּוֹיִם יִהְיֶה מִמֶּךָּ וּמְלָכִים מֵחֲלָצֶיךָ יֵצֵֽאוּ׃ |
12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."
| וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לְאַבְרָהָם וּלְיִצְחָק לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה וּֽלְזַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
13 Then 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 standing-stone in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
| וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ מַצֶּבֶת אָבֶן וַיַּסֵּךְ עָלֶיהָ נֶסֶךְ וַיִּצֹק עָלֶיהָ שָֽׁמֶן׃ |
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel.
| וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב אֶת־שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ שָׁם אֱלֹהִים בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃ |
16 Then they set out from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel went into labor, and her labor was difficult.
| וַיִּסְעוּ מִבֵּית אֵל וַֽיְהִי־עוֹד כִּבְרַת־הָאָרֶץ לָבוֹא אֶפְרָתָה וַתֵּלֶד רָחֵל וַתְּקַשׁ בְּלִדְתָּֽהּ׃ |
17 When she was in the difficult labor, the midwife said to her, "Do not be afraid, for now you have another son."
| וַיְהִי בְהַקְשֹׁתָהּ בְּלִדְתָּהּ וַתֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמְיַלֶּדֶת אַל־תִּירְאִי כִּֽי־גַם־זֶה לָךְ בֵּֽן׃ |
18 It happened, as her life was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-Oni, but his father named him Benjamin.
| וַיְהִי בְּצֵאת נַפְשָׁהּ כִּי מֵתָה וַתִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ בֶּן־אוֹנִי וְאָבִיו קָֽרָא־לוֹ בִנְיָמִֽין׃ |
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
| וַתָּמׇת רָחֵל וַתִּקָּבֵר בְּדֶרֶךְ אֶפְרָתָה הִוא בֵּית לָֽחֶם׃ |
20 Jacob set up a standing-stone on her grave. It is the standing-stone of Rachel's grave to this day.
| וַיַּצֵּב יַעֲקֹב מַצֵּבָה עַל־קְבֻרָתָהּ הִוא מַצֶּבֶת קְבֻֽרַת־רָחֵל עַד־הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
21 And Israel traveled and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.
| וַיִּסַּע יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּט אׇֽהֳלֹה מֵהָלְאָה לְמִגְדַּל־עֵֽדֶר׃ |
22 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and slept with Bilhah, his father's secondary wife, and Israel heard about 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 firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
| בְּנֵי לֵאָה בְּכוֹר יַעֲקֹב רְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעוֹן וְלֵוִי וִֽיהוּדָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר וּזְבֻלֽוּן׃ |
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
| בְּנֵי רָחֵל יוֹסֵף וּבִנְיָמִֽן׃ |
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali.
| וּבְנֵי בִלְהָה שִׁפְחַת רָחֵל דָּן וְנַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
| וּבְנֵי זִלְפָּה שִׁפְחַת לֵאָה גָּד וְאָשֵׁר אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּד־לוֹ בְּפַדַּן אֲרָֽם׃ |
27 So Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre in Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
| וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב אֶל־יִצְחָק אָבִיו מַמְרֵא קִרְיַת הָֽאַרְבַּע הִוא חֶבְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר־גָּֽר־שָׁם אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.
| וַיִּֽהְיוּ יְמֵי יִצְחָק מְאַת שָׁנָה וּשְׁמֹנִים שָׁנָֽה׃ |
29 And Isaac took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
| וַיִּגְוַע יִצְחָק וַיָּמׇת וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל־עַמָּיו זָקֵן וּשְׂבַע יָמִים וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ עֵשָׂו וְיַעֲקֹב בָּנָֽיו׃ |
