¹雅各回到伯特利

¹And God saith unto Jacob, `Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.`

²雅各就对他的家人，和所有与他在一起的人说：“你们要除去你们中间外族人的神像，你们要洁净自己，更换你们的衣服。

²And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who [are] with him, `Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

³我们要起程，上伯特利去；我要在那里给　神筑一座祭坛，他就是在我遭患难的时候应允我的呼求，在我所行的路上与我同行的那一位。”

³and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.`

⁴他们就把自己手中所有外族人的神像，和自己耳朵上的环子，都交给雅各；雅各把这些东西埋在示剑附近的橡树底下。

⁴And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem;

⁵他们出发了，　神使周围的城市都非常惧怕，他们就不追赶雅各的儿子。

⁵and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.

⁶于是雅各和与他在一起的人，到了迦南地的路斯，就是伯特利。

⁶And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him,

⁷他在那里筑了一座坛，就称那地方为伊勒．伯特利，因为他逃避他哥哥的时候，　神曾经在那里向他显现。

⁷and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother.

⁸利百加的乳母底波拉死了，葬在伯特利下边的橡树底下，所以给那棵树起名叫亚伦．巴古。

⁸And Deborah, Rebekah`s nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name `Oak of weeping.`

⁹雅各从巴旦．亚兰回来以后，　神再次向他显现，赐福给他。

⁹And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and blesseth him;

¹⁰　神对他说：“你的名原是雅各，但以后不要再叫雅各，以色列才是你的名。”这样，　神给他改名叫以色列。

¹⁰and God saith to him, `Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;` and He calleth his name Israel.

¹¹　神对他说：“我是全能的　神，你要繁殖增多，必有一大国从你而生，又必有很多君王从你而出。

¹¹And God saith to him, `I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;

¹²我赐给亚伯拉罕和以撒的地，我要赐给你，我也要把这地赐给你的后裔。”

¹²and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac — to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.`

¹³　神从与雅各谈话的地方，离开他上升去了。

¹³And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.

¹⁴雅各就在　神与他谈话的地方，立了一根石柱；在柱上浇了奠祭和油。

¹⁴And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;

¹⁵雅各给　神与他谈话的地方起名叫伯特利。

¹⁵and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him Bethel.

¹⁶拉结因难产而逝世他们从伯特利起程，离以法他还有一段路程的时候，拉结产期到了；但她遇到难产。

¹⁶And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her bearing;

¹⁷她正在极辛苦的时候，接生婆对她说：“不要怕，你这次又得了一个儿子。”

¹⁷and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing, that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this also [is] a son for thee.`

¹⁸拉结快要死了，正要断气的时候，她给她儿子起名叫便．俄尼；他的父亲却叫他便雅悯。

¹⁸And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;

¹⁹拉结死了，葬在通往以法他的路旁。以法他就是伯利恒。

¹⁹and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which [is] Bethlehem,

²⁰雅各在她的坟墓上立了一根柱子，就是拉结的墓碑，到今天还在。

²⁰and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel`s grave unto this day.

²¹以色列又起程前行，在以得台那边支搭了帐棚。

²¹And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of Edar;

²²以色列的众子（代上2:1-2）以色列在那地居住的时候，流本竟去与他父亲的妾辟拉同睡；这事以色列也听见了。雅各共有十二个儿子。

²²and it cometh to pass in Israel`s dwelling in that land, that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father`s concubine; and Israel heareth.

²³利亚的儿子有：雅各的长子流本，以及西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦和西布伦。

²³And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob`s first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

²⁴拉结的儿子有：约瑟和便雅悯。

²⁴Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁵拉结的婢女辟拉的儿子有：但和拿弗他利。

²⁵And sons of Bilhah, Rachel`s maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.

²⁶利亚的婢女悉帕的儿子有：迦得和亚设。这些都是雅各在巴旦．亚兰所生的儿子。

²⁶And sons of Zilpah, Leah`s maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.

²⁷雅各来到基列．亚巴的幔利他父亲以撒那里，基列．亚巴就是希伯仑，是亚伯拉罕和以撒寄居过的地方。

²⁷And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.

²⁸以撒逝世以撒一生的年日共一百八十岁。

²⁸And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,

²⁹以撒年纪老迈，享尽天年，就气绝而死，归到他的亲族那里去了；他儿子以扫和雅各把他葬了。

²⁹and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
