35 DIO disse a Giacobbe: «Levati, sali a Bethel e dimora là; e fa' in quel luogo un altare al Dio che ti apparve, quando fuggivi davanti a tuo fratello Esaú».

Allora Giacobbe disse alla sua famiglia e a tutti quelli che erano con lui: «Rimuovete dal vostro mezzo gli dèi stranieri, purificatevi e cambiate le vostre vesti;

Poi leviamoci e andiamo a Bethel, e io farò là un altare al Dio che mi esaudì nel giorno della mia avversità e che è stato con me nel viaggio che ho fatto»

Allora essi diedero a Giacobbe tutti gli dèi stranieri che avevano e gli orecchini che portavano agli orecchi; e Giacobbe li nascose sotto la quercia che si trova vicino a Sichem.

Poi essi partirono e il terrore di DIO cadde su tutte le città intorno a loro, così che non inseguirono i figli di Giacobbe.

Così Giacobbe giunse a Luz, cioè Bethel, che è nel paese di Canaan, egli con tutta la gente che era con lui.

E là egli costruì un altare e chiamò quel luogo El-Bethel, perché là DIO gli era apparso, quando egli fuggiva davanti a suo fratello.

Allora morì Debora, bàlia di Rebecca, e fu sepolta al di sotto di Bethel, ai piedi della quercia, che fu chiamata Allon-Bakuth.

DIO apparve ancora a Giacobbe, quando questi veniva da Paddan-Aram, e lo benedisse.

10 E DIO gli disse: «Il tuo nome è Giacobbe; tu non sarai piú chiamato Giacobbe, ma il tuo nome sarà Israele». E gli mise nome Israele.

11 Quindi DIO gli disse: «Io sono il Dio onnipotente; sii fruttifero e moltiplica; una nazione, anzi un insieme di nazioni discenderà da te, e dei re usciranno dai tuoi lombi;

12 e darò a te, e alla tua discendenza dopo di te, il paese che diedi ad Abrahamo e a Isacco».

13 Poi DIO salì in alto da lui, dal luogo dove gli aveva parlato.

14 Allora Giacobbe eresse una stele, una stele di pietra, nel luogo dove Dio gli aveva parlato; e su di essa fece una libazione e vi sparse sopra dell'olio.

15 E Giacobbe chiamò, il luogo dove DIO gli aveva parlato, Bethel.

16 Poi partirono da Bethel; mancava ancora un tratto di strada per arrivare ad Efrata, quando Rachele partorì. Ella ebbe un travaglio difficile;

17 e durante il difficile travaglio per partorire la levatrice le disse: «Non temere, perché anche questa volta hai un figlio».

18 E mentre l'anima la lasciava (perché morì), gli pose nome Ben-Oni, ma il padre lo chiamò Beniamino.

19 Così Rachele morì; e fu sepolta sulla via di Efrata, (cioè di Betlemme).

20 E Giacobbe eresse sulla sua tomba una stele. la stele sulla tomba di Rachele che esiste ancora oggi.

21 Poi Israele partì e piantò la tenda al di là di Migdal-Eder.

22 E avvenne che, mentre Israele abitava in quel paese, Ruben andò e si coricò con Bilhah, concubina di suo padre. E Israele lo seppe.

23 Or i figli di Giacobbe erano dodici. I figli di Lea: Ruben, primogenito di Giacobbe, Simeone, Levi, Giuda, Issacar, Zabulon.

24 I figli di Rachele: Giuseppe e Beniamino.

25 I figli di Bilhah, serva di Rachele: Dan e Neftali.

26 I figli di Zilpah, serva di Lea: Gad e Ascer. Questi sono i figli di Giacobbe che gli nacquero in Paddan-Aram.

27 Poi Giacobbe venne da Isacco suo padre a Mamre, a Kirjath-Arba, (cioè Hebron), dove Abrahamo e Isacco avevano soggiornato.

28 Or Isacco visse centottant'anni.

29 Così Isacco spirò, morì e fu riunito al suo popolo, vecchio e sazio di giorni; ed Esaú e Giacobbe, suoi figli, lo seppellirono.

Якуб возвращается в Вефиль

35 Аллах сказал Якубу:

– Пойди в Вефиль, поселись там и построй там жертвенник Аллаху, Который явился тебе, когда ты бежал от своего брата Есава.

Якуб сказал своим домашним и всем, кто был с ним:

– Избавьтесь от всех идолов, которые у вас с собой, очиститесь и переоденьтесь. Потом соберитесь в дорогу, и мы отправимся в Вефиль, где я построю жертвенник Аллаху, Который ответил мне в день бедствия и был со мной, куда бы я ни шёл.

Они отдали Якубу всех чужих богов, которые у них были, и серьги из ушей[a], и Якуб закопал их под дубом в Шехеме. Потом они отправились в путь, и ужас Аллаха объял все города вокруг них, так что никто не преследовал детей Якуба.

Якуб и все, кто был с ним, пришли в Луз (то есть Вефиль) в земле Ханаана. Там он построил жертвенник и назвал то место Ил-Вефиль («Всевышний, явившийся в Вефиле»), потому что там Аллах открылся ему, когда он бежал от своего брата.

Девора, кормилица Рабиги, умерла и была похоронена под дубом близ Вефиля. Поэтому он был назван Аллон-Бахут («дуб плача»).

Когда Якуб вернулся из Паддан-Арама, Аллах вновь явился ему и благословил его. 10 Аллах сказал ему:

– Твоё имя Якуб, но отныне ты не будешь называться Якубом: имя тебе будет Исраил.[b]

Так Он назвал его Исраилом.

11 Аллах сказал ему:

– Я – Бог Всемогущий, плодись и умножайся. Народ и множество народов произойдут от тебя, и цари произойдут от твоих чресел[c]. 12 Землю, которую Я дал Ибрахиму и Исхаку, Я отдаю тебе, и отдам её твоим потомкам.

13 И Аллах поднялся от него там, где Он говорил с ним.

14 Якуб поставил каменный столб на том месте, где Аллах говорил с ним, и возлил на него вино как жертву возлияния и масло. 15 Якуб назвал место, где Аллах говорил с ним, Вефиль («дом Всевышнего»).

Смерть Рахили

16 Они покинули Вефиль и были уже недалеко от Ефрафы, когда Рахиля начала рожать, и роды были очень трудные. 17 Она сильно мучилась при родах, и женщина, принимавшая роды, сказала ей:

– Не бойся – у тебя будет ещё один сын.

18 Умирая, Рахиля назвала сына Бен-Они («сын моей скорби»), но отец назвал его Вениамин («сын моей правой руки»). 19 Рахиля умерла и была похоронена на пути в Ефрафу (то есть Вифлеем). 20 Над её могилой Якуб поставил памятный камень; это тот камень, что стоит над могилой Рахили до сего дня.

21 Исраил продолжал путь и поставил шатёр за Мигдал-Едер. 22 Когда Исраил жил в той земле, Рувим лёг с наложницей отца Билхой, и Исраил узнал об этом.

Сыновья Якуба(A)

У Якуба было двенадцать сыновей.

23 От Лии:

Рувим, первенец Якуба, Шимон, Леви, Иуда, Иссахар и Завулон.

24 От Рахили:

Юсуф и Вениамин.

25 От служанки Рахили Билхи:

Дан и Неффалим.

26 От Лииной служанки Зелфы:

Гад и Ашир.

Вот сыновья Якуба, рождённые ему в Паддан-Араме.

Возвращение Якуба к отцу и смерть Исхака

27 Якуб пришёл к своему отцу Исхаку в Мамре, что рядом с Кириат-Арбой (то есть Хевроном), где жили пришельцами Ибрахим и Исхак. 28 Всего дней жизни Исхака было сто восемьдесят лет; 29 и Исхак испустил дух, умер и отошёл к своим предкам, старым и насытившимся жизнью. Его сыновья Есав и Якуб похоронили его.

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

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:

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; 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.

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.

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.

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

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

But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, 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, Bethel.

16 And they journeyed from Bethel; 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 Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

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 Padanaram.

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.

Jacob’s Return to Bethel

35 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to (A)Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, (B)who appeared to you (C)when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

And Jacob said to his (D)household and to all who were with him, “Put away (E)the foreign gods that are among you, (F)purify yourselves, and change your garments. Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, (G)who answered me in the day of my distress (H)and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” So they gave Jacob all the foreign [a]gods which were in their hands, and the (I)earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under (J)the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.

And they journeyed, and (K)the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. So Jacob came to (L)Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. And he (M)built an altar there and called the place [b]El Bethel, because (N)there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

Now (O)Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called [c]Allon Bachuth.

Then (P)God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and (Q)blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; (R)your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, (S)but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: (T)“I am God Almighty. (U)Be fruitful and multiply; (V)a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. 12 The (W)land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.” 13 Then God (X)went[d] up from him in the place where He talked with him. 14 So Jacob (Y)set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, (Z)Bethel.

Death of Rachel

16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. 17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; (AA)you will have this son also.” 18 And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name [e]Ben-Oni; but his father called him [f]Benjamin. 19 So (AB)Rachel died and was buried on the way to (AC)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave (AD)to this day.

21 Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond (AE)the tower of Eder. 22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and (AF)lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it.

Jacob’s Twelve Sons

Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23 the sons of Leah were (AG)Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; 24 the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin; 25 the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali; 26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.

Death of Isaac

27 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at (AH)Mamre, or (AI)Kirjath Arba[g] (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt. 28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years. 29 So Isaac breathed his last and died, and (AJ)was [h]gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And (AK)his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
