1 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel andalive there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fledbfrom your brother Esau.” 2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments; 3 and 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 mecwherever I have gone.” 4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods whichdthey had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under theeoak which was near Shechem. | |
5 As they journeyed, there wasfa great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 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. 7 He built an altar there, and called the placegEl-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fledhfrom his brother. 8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was namediAllon-bacuth. | |

16 Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and shersuffered severe labor. 17 When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now you have another son.” 18 It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named himsBen-oni; but his father called himtBenjamin. 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day. 21 Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond theutower ofvEder. | |
