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 to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

2 Iacob vero convocata omni domo sua ait abicite deos alienos qui in medio vestri sunt et mundamini ac mutate vestimenta vestra

Then Jacob said to 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 surgite et ascendamus in Bethel ut faciamus ibi altare Deo qui exaudivit me in die tribulationis meae et fuit socius itineris mei

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to 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 ea subter terebinthum quae est post urbem Sychem

And they gave to 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 cumque profecti essent terror Dei invasit omnes per circuitum civitates et non sunt ausi persequi recedentes

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on 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, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

7 aedificavitque ibi altare et appellavit nomen loci Domus Dei ibi enim apparuit ei Deus cum fugeret fratrem suum

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

8 eodem tempore mortua est Debbora nutrix Rebeccae et sepulta ad radices Bethel subter quercum vocatumque est nomen loci quercus Fletus

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

9 apparuit autem iterum Deus Iacob postquam reversus est de Mesopotamiam Syriae benedixitque ei

And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

10 dicens non vocaberis ultra Iacob sed Israhel erit nomen tuum et appellavit eum Israhel

And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.

11 dixitque ei ego Deus omnipotens cresce et multiplicare gentes et populi nationum erunt ex te reges de lumbis tuis egredientur

And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;

12 terramque quam dedi Abraham et Isaac dabo tibi et semini tuo post te

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land.

13 et recessit ab eo

And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

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

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 vocansque nomen loci Bethel

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.

16 egressus inde venit verno tempore ad terram quae ducit Efratham in qua cum parturiret Rahel

And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

17 ob difficultatem partus periclitari coepit dixitque ei obsetrix noli timere quia et hunc habebis filium

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also.

18 egrediente autem anima prae dolore et inminente iam morte vocavit nomen filii sui Benoni id est filius doloris mei pater vero appellavit eum Beniamin id est filius dexterae

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 mortua est ergo Rahel et sepulta in via quae ducit Efratham haec est Bethleem

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

20 erexitque Iacob titulum super sepulchrum eius hic est titulus monumenti Rahel usque in praesentem diem

And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

21 egressus inde fixit tabernaculum trans turrem Gregis

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

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, when Israel dwelled 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 filii Liae primogenitus Ruben et Symeon et Levi et Iudas et Isachar et Zabulon

The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

24 filii Rahel Ioseph et Beniamin

The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

25 filii Balae ancillae Rahelis Dan et Nepthalim

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

26 filii Zelphae ancillae Liae Gad et Aser hii filii Iacob qui nati sunt ei in Mesopotamiam Syriae

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 venit etiam ad Isaac patrem suum in Mambre civitatem Arbee haec est Hebron in qua peregrinatus est Abraham et Isaac

And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28 et conpleti sunt dies Isaac centum octoginta annorum

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

29 consumptusque aetate mortuus est et adpositus 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 to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
