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, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua, ait: Abiicite 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 foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments:

3 Surgite, et ascendamus in Bethel, ut faciamus ibi altare Deo: qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae, et socius fuit 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 eas subter terebinthum, quae est post urbem Sichem.

And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings 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 a 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 (the same is Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him.

7 Aedificavitque ibi altare, et appellavit nomen loci illius, 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 was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 Eodem tempore mortua est Debora nutrix Rebeccae, et sepulta est ad radices Bethel subter quercum: vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Quercus fletus.

And Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

9 Apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamia Syriae, benedixitque ei,

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

10 dicens: Non vocaberis ultra Iacob, sed Israel erit nomen tuum. Et appellavit eum Israel,

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 ex te erunt, 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 unto 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 spake with him.

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

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spake with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.

15 vocansque nomen loci illius, Bethel.

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

16 Egressus autem inde, venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Ephratam: in qua cum parturiret Rachel,

And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit. Dixitque ei obstetrix: Noli timere, quia et hunc habebis filium.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son.

18 Egrediente autem anima prae dolore, et imminente iam morte, vocavit nomen filii sui Benomi, id est filius doloris mei: pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin, id est filius dextrae.

And it came to pass, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.

19 Mortua est ergo Rachel, et sepulta est in via quae ducit Ephratam, haec est Bethlehem.

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem).

20 Erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius: hic est titulus monumenti Rachel, usque in praesentem diem.

And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave: the same 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 Eder.

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, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

23 Filii Liae: primogenitus Ruben, et Simeon, et Levi, et Iudas, et Issachar, et Zabulon.

the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;

24 Filii Rachel: Ioseph et Beniamin.

the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25 Filii Balae ancillae Rachelis: Dan et Nephthali.

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

26 Filii Zelphae ancillae Liae: Gad et Aser: hi sunt filii Iacob, qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamia Syriae.

and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-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 to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 Et completi sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum.

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

29 Consumptusque aetate mortuus est: et appositus est 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, old and full of days: and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
