¹Pada suatu hari Allah berkata kepada Yakub, "Akulah Allah yang menampakkan diri kepadamu ketika engkau lari dari abangmu Esau. Pergilah segera ke Betel. Tinggallah di situ dan dirikanlah sebuah mezbah bagi-Ku."

¹And 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.

²Lalu Yakub berkata kepada keluarganya dan kepada semua orang yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia, "Kita akan berangkat dari sini dan pergi ke Betel. Di situ saya akan mendirikan mezbah bagi Allah yang telah menolong saya pada masa kesukaran saya dan yang telah melindungi saya ke mana saja saya pergi. Jadi buanglah patung dewa-dewa asing yang ada padamu; lakukanlah upacara pembersihan diri dan kenakanlah pakaian yang bersih."

²Then 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(35:2)

³and 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.

⁴Lalu mereka menyerahkan kepada Yakub semua patung dewa asing yang ada pada mereka dan juga anting-anting mereka. Semua benda itu ditanam Yakub di bawah pohon besar di dekat kota Sikhem.

⁴And 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.

⁵Pada waktu Yakub dan rombongan keluarganya berangkat, Allah meliputi penduduk kota-kota sekitar dengan rasa takut, sehingga mereka tidak mengejar Yakub dan rombongannya.

⁵And 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.

⁶Lalu sampailah mereka di tanah Kanaan di kota Betel yang dahulu bernama Lus.

⁶So 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.

⁷Di situ Yakub mendirikan mezbah dan menamakan tempat itu "El-Betel", karena Allah telah menampakkan diri kepadanya di situ ketika ia lari dari abangnya.

⁷And 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.

⁸Di sana juga Debora, inang pengasuh Ribka, meninggal lalu dikuburkan di bawah pohon besar di sebelah selatan kota itu. Itulah sebabnya pohon itu dinamakan "Pohon Tangis".

⁸And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

⁹Setelah Yakub kembali dari Mesopotamia, Allah menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya dan memberkatinya.

⁹And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

¹⁰Kata Allah kepadanya, "Engkau tidak akan disebut lagi Yakub, tetapi Israel." Demikianlah Allah menamakan dia Israel.

¹⁰And 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.

¹¹Lalu kata Allah pula, "Akulah Allah Yang Mahakuasa. Hendaklah engkau beranak cucu yang banyak! Engkau akan menurunkan bangsa-bangsa dan menjadi bapak leluhur raja-raja.

¹¹And 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;

¹²Negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada Abraham dan Ishak, akan Kuberikan kepadamu dan keturunanmu."

¹²and 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.

¹³Setelah itu Allah meninggalkan Yakub.

¹³And God went up from him in the place where he spake with him.

¹⁴Di tempat Allah berbicara kepada Yakub, ia menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan. Lalu batu itu dipersembahkannya kepada Allah dengan menuangkan anggur dan minyak zaitun di atasnya.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁵Tempat itu dinamakannya "Betel".

¹⁵And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.

¹⁶Sesudah itu Yakub dan rombongannya meninggalkan Betel. Ketika mereka masih agak jauh dari Efrata, tibalah saatnya bagi Rahel untuk melahirkan. Tetapi anaknya sukar lahir.

¹⁶And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

¹⁷Ketika sakit bersalinnya memuncak, berkatalah bidan kepadanya, "Besarkan hatimu, Rahel, anakmu laki-laki lagi."

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸Tetapi Rahel sudah mendekati ajalnya, dan ketika ia hendak menghembuskan napasnya yang penghabisan, dinamakannya anak itu Ben-Oni tetapi ayahnya menamakannya Benyamin.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁹Setelah Rahel meninggal, ia dikuburkan di sisi jalan yang menuju ke Efrata, yang sekarang bernama Betlehem.

¹⁹And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem).

²⁰Yakub menegakkan sebuah batu peringatan di situ, dan sampai hari ini pun kuburan Rahel masih ditandai oleh batu itu.

²⁰And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave: the same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

²¹Sesudah itu Yakub meneruskan perjalanannya, lalu memasang kemahnya di suatu tempat lewat menara Eder.

²¹And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

²²Sementara mereka ada di tempat itu Ruben tidur dengan Bilha, selir ayahnya. Hal itu didengar Yakub, dan ia menjadi sangat marah. Yakub mempunyai dua belas anak laki-laki.

²²And 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:

²³Anak-anak Lea ialah Ruben (anak sulung Yakub), Simeon, Lewi, Yehuda, Isakhar dan Zebulon.

²³The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;

²⁴Anak-anak Rahel ialah Yusuf dan Benyamin.

²⁴the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

²⁵Anak-anak Bilha, hamba Rahel ialah Dan serta Naftali.

²⁵and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;

²⁶Anak-anak Zilpa, hamba Lea ialah Gad dan Asyer. Anak-anak itu lahir di Mesopotamia.

²⁶and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.

²⁷Lalu sampailah Yakub kepada Ishak ayahnya, di tempat tinggalnya di Mamre dekat Hebron. (Dulu Abraham kakeknya, juga tinggal di sana).

²⁷And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

²⁸Pada usia amat tua, yaitu seratus delapan puluh tahun, Ishak meninggal lalu dikuburkan oleh Esau dan Yakub, anak-anaknya.

²⁸And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.

²⁹(35:28)

²⁹And 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.
