Genesis 35

1 interea locutus est Deus ad Iacob surge et ascende Bethel et habita ibi facque altare Deo qui apparuit tibi quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua ait abicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt et mundamini ac mutate vestimenta vestra

Then Jacob said unto 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 surgite et ascendamus in Bethel ut faciamus ibi altare Deo qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae et fuit socius itineris mei

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.

4 dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos quos habebant et inaures quae erant in auribus eorum at ille infodit ea subter terebinthum quae est post urbem Sychem

And they gave unto 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 cumque profecti essent terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes

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

6 venit igitur Iacob Luzam quae est in terra Chanaan cognomento Bethel ipse et omnis populus cum eo

So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that [is], Beth-el, he and all the people that [were] with him.

7 aedificavitque ibi altare et appellavit nomen loci Domus Dei ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum

And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 eodem tempore mortua est Debbora nutrix Rebeccae et sepulta ad radices Bethel subter quercum vocatumque est nomen loci quercus Fletus

But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.

9 apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae benedixitque ei

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.

10 dicens non vocaberis ultra Iacob sed Israhel erit nomen tuum et appellavit eum Israhel

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.

11 dixitque ei ego Deus omnipotens cresce et multiplicare gentes et populi nationum erunt ex te reges de lumbis tuis egredientur

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;

12 terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac dabo tibi et semini tuo post te

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

13 et recessit ab eo

And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

14 ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco quo locutus ei fuerat Deus libans super eum libamina et effundens oleum

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

15 vocansque nomen loci Bethel

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.

16 egressus inde venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Efratham in qua cum parturiret Rahel

And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit dixitque ei obsetrix noli timere quia et hunc habebis filium

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

18 egrediente autem anima prae dolore et inminente iam morte vocavit nomen filii sui Benoni id est filius doloris mei pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin id est filius dexterae

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.

19 mortua est ergo Rahel et sepulta in via quae ducit Efratham haec est Bethleem

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which [is] Beth-lehem.

20 erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius hic est titulus monumenti Rahel usque in praesentem diem

And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.

21 egressus inde fixit tabernaculum trans turrem Gregis

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

22 cumque habitaret in illa regione abiit Ruben et dormivit cum Bala concubina patris sui quod illum minime latuit erant autem filii Iacob duodecim

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

23 filii Liae primogenitus Ruben et Symeon et Levi et Iudas et Isachar et Zabulon

The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

24 filii Rahel Ioseph et Beniamin

The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

25 filii Balae ancillae Rahelis Dan et Nepthalim

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

26 filii Zelphae ancillae Liae Gad et Aser hii filii Iacob qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamiam Syriae

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram.

27 venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre civitatem Arbee haec est Hebron in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac

And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 et conpleti sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum

And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

29 consumptusque aetate mortuus est et adpositus populo suo senex et plenus dierum et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui

And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
