Chapter 35

1Hashem said to Yaakov, “Arise, go up to Beit El and remain there; and build a mizbayach there to the God who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”

vai-YO-mer e-lo-HEEM el ya-a-KOV, KUM a-LEH vayt-AYL v'-SHEV sham va-a-SEH-sham miz-BAY-akh la-EL ha-nir-EH e-LE-kha b'-vo-r'-KHA mi-p'-NEI e-SAV a-KHE-kha

2So Yaakov said to his household and to all who were with him, “Rid yourselves of the alien gods in your midst, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.

3Come, let us go up to Beit El, and I will build a mizbayach there to the God who answered me when I was in distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.”

4They gave to Yaakov all the alien gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears, and Yaakov buried them under the terebinth that was near Shechem.

5As they set out, a terror from Hashem fell on the cities round about, so that they did not pursue the sons of Yaakov.

6Thus Yaakov came to Luz—that is, Beit El—in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7There he built a mizbayach and named the site El-bethel, for it was there that Hashem had revealed Himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

8Devora, Rivka's nurse, died, and was buried under the oak below Beit El; so it was named Allon-bacuth.

9Hashem appeared again to Yaakov on his arrival from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.

10Hashem said to him, “You whose name is Yaakov, You shall be called Yaakov no more, But Yisrael shall be your name.” Thus He named him Yisrael.

11And Hashem said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Be fertile and increase; A nation, yea an assembly of nations, Shall descend from you. Kings shall issue from your loins.

12The land that I assigned to Avraham and Yitzchak I assign to you; And to your offspring to come Will I assign the land.”

13Hashem parted from him at the spot where He had spoken to him;

vai-YA-al me-a-LAV e-lo-HEEM ba-ma-KOM a-SHER di-BER i-TO

יגוַיַּ֥עַל מֵעָלָ֖יו אֱלֹהִ֑ים בַּמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר אִתּֽוֹ׃

14and Yaakov set up a pillar at the site where He had spoken to him, a pillar of stone, and he offered a libation on it and poured oil upon it.

15Yaakov gave the site, where Hashem had spoken to him, the name of Beit El.

vai-YIK-ra ya-a-KOV et-SHEM ha-ma-KOM a-SHER di-BER i-TO sham e-lo-HIM beit-EL

16They set out from Beit El; but when they were still some distance short of Efrat, Rachel was in childbirth, and she had hard labor.

vai-YIS-u mi-BAYT el, vai-HI od kiv-RAT ha-A-retz la-VO ef-RA-tah, va-TEL-ed ra-CHEL, va-TE-kash b'-lid-TAH

17When her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Have no fear, for it is another boy for you.”

vai-HI v'-ha-k'-SHO-tah b'-lid-TAH, va-TO-mer LAH ha-m'-ya-LE-det: al ti-RE-EE, kee-GAM zeh LAKH ben

18But as she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Binyamin.

19Thus Rachel died. She was buried on the road to Efrat—now Beit Lechem.

20Over her grave Yaakov set up a pillar; it is the pillar at Rachel's grave to this day.

21Yisrael journeyed on, and pitched his tent beyond Migdal-eder.

22While Yisrael stayed in that land, Reuven went and lay with Bilha, his father's concubine; and Yisrael found out. Now the sons of Yaakov were twelve in number.

27And Yaakov came to his father Yitzchak at Mamre, at Kiryat Arba—now Chevron—where Avraham and Yitzchak had sojourned.
