Chapter 35 Vulgate

   1 Locutus est Deus ad Iacob: "Surge et ascende Bethel et habita ibi; facque altare Deo, qui apparuit tibi, quando fugiebas Esau fratrem tuum"
   2 Iacob vero, convocata omni domo sua, ait: "Abigite deos alienos, qui in medio vestri sunt, et mundamini ac mutate vestimenta vestra.
   3 Surgamus et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo, qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae et socius fuit itineris mei"
   4 Dederunt ergo ei omnes deos alienos, quos habebant, et inaures, quae erant in auribus eorum; at ille infodit ea subter Quercum, quae est prope urbem Sichem.
   5 Cumque profecti essent, terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates, et non sunt ausi persequi filios Iacob.
   6 Venit igitur Iacob Luzam, quae est in terra Chanaan, id est Bethel, ipse et omnis populus cum eo.
   7 Aedificavitque ibi altare et appellavit nomen loci illius Deus Bethel; ibi enim apparuit ei Deus, cum fugeret fratrem suum.
   8 Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccae et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum; vocatumque est nomen loci illius Quercus fletus.
   9 Apparuit iterum Deus Iacob, postquam reversus est de Paddanaram, benedixitque ei
   10 dicens: "Non vocaberis ultra Iacob, sed Israel erit nomen tuum" et appellavit eum Israel.
   11 Dixitque ei: "Ego Deus omnipotens. Cresce et multiplicare; gens et congregatio nationum erunt ex te, reges de lumbis tuis egredientur.
   12 Terramque, quam dedi Abraham et Isaac, dabo tibi; et semini tuo post te dabo terram hanc"
   13 Et ascendit ab eo Deus.
   14 Ille vero erexit titulum lapideum in loco, quo locutus ei fuerat Deus, libans super eum libamina et effundens oleum
   15 vocansque nomen loci illius Bethel.
   16 Egressi sunt de Bethel. Et adhuc spatium quoddam erat usque ad Ephratham, cum parturiret Rachel;
   17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit, dixitque ei obstetrix: "Noli timere, quia et hac vice habes filium"
   18 Egrediente autem anima et imminente iam morte, vocavit nomen filii sui Benoni (id est Filius doloris mei); pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin (id est Filius dextrae).
   19 Mortua est ergo Rachel et sepulta est in via, quae ducit Ephratham; haec est Bethlehem.
   20 Erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulcrum eius; hic est titulus monumenti Rachel usque in praesentem diem.
   21 Egressus inde Israel, fixit tabernaculum trans Magdaleder (id est Turris gregis).
   22 Cumque habitaret in illa regione, abiit Ruben et dormivit cum Bilha concubina patris sui; quod illum minime latuit. Erant autem filii Iacob duodecim.
   23 Filii Liae: primogenitus Ruben et Simeon et Levi et Iudas et Issachar et Zabulon.
   24 Filii Rachel: Ioseph et Beniamin.
   25 Filii Bilhae ancillae Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali.
   26 Filii Zelphae ancillae Liae: Gad et Aser. Hi sunt filii Iacob, qui nati sunt ei in Paddanaram.
   27 Venit Iacob ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre Cariatharbe, id est Hebron, ubi peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac.
   28 Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum;
   29 consumptusque aetate mortuus est et appositus est populo suo senex et plenus dierum. Et sepelierunt eum Esau et Iacob filii sui.

King James Version

   1 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 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 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 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 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 ¶ 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 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 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 ¶ And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
   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.
   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;
   12 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 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
   14 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 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.
   16 ¶ 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 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 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 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
   20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
   21 ¶ And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
   22 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 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
   24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
   25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
   26 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 ¶ And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
   28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
   29 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.
