1 Ja Jumal ütles Jaakobile: „Võta kätte, mine üles Peetelisse, ela seal ja tee sinna altar Jumalale, Kes sulle ennast ilmutas, kui sa põgenesid oma venna Eesavi eest!"
2 Ja Jaakob ütles oma perele ja kõigile, kes olid ühes temaga: „Kõrvaldage võõrad jumalad, kes teie keskel on, ja puhastage endid ning vahetage riided!
3 Ja me võtame kätte ning läheme üles Peetelisse ja teeme sinna altari Jumalale, Kes mind kuulis mu ahastuse ajal ja oli minuga teel, mida käisin!"
4 Siis nad andsid Jaakobile kõik nende käes olevad võõrad jumalad ja kõrvarõngad, mis neil kõrvus olid, ja Jaakob mattis need maha ühe Sekemi ligidal oleva tamme alla.
5 Ja nad läksid teele; aga hirm Jumala ees lasus ümberkaudseil linnadel ja need ei ajanud taga Jaakobi poegi.
6 Ja Jaakob jõudis Luusi, see on Peetelisse Kaananimaal, tema ja kogu rahvas, kes oli ühes temaga.
7 Ja ta ehitas sinna altari ning pani sellele paigale nimeks Eel-Peetel, sest seal oli Jumal ennast temale ilmutanud, kui ta põgenes oma venna eest.
8 Aga Deboora, Rebeka imetaja, suri, ja ta maeti ühe tamme alla allpool Peetelit, ja sellele pandi nimeks Nututamm.
9 Ja Jumal ilmutas Ennast taas Jaakobile, kui see Mesopotaamiast tuli, ja õnnistas teda.
10 Ja Jumal ütles temale: „Jaakob on su nimi! Ärgu hüütagu su nime enam Jaakobiks, vaid su nimi olgu Iisrael!" Ja Ta pani temale nimeks Iisrael.
11 Ja Jumal ütles temale: „Mina olen kõigeväeline Jumal! Ole viljakas ja paljune! Sinust saab rahvas, jah, rahvaste hulk, ja sinu niudeist väljuvad kuningad!
12 Ja maa, mille Ma andsin Aabrahamile ja Iisakile, Ma annan sinule; ka sinu soole pärast sind Ma annan selle maa!"
13 Ja Jumal läks tema juurest üles paigast, kus Ta temaga oli rääkinud.
14 Ja Jaakob püstitas samba sinna paika, kus Ta temaga oli rääkinud, kivisamba, ja kallas selle peale joomaohvri ning valas õli.
15 Ja Jaakob nimetas paiga, kus Jumal temaga oli rääkinud, Peeteliks.
16 Siis nad läksid Peetelist teele. Aga kui veel tükk maad oli minna Efratani, pidi Raahel sünnitama, ja tal oli raske sünnitus.
17 Tema raske sünnituse ajal ütles aitajanaine temale: „Ära karda, sest ka seekord on sul poeg!"
18 Ja kui ta hing oli välja minemas, sest varsti ta surigi, pani ta temale nimeks Ben-Ooni; aga selle isa kutsus teda Benjaminiks.
19 Ja Raahel suri ning ta maeti Efrata tee äärde, see on Petlemma.
20 Ja Jaakob püstitas tema hauale samba; see Raaheli hauasammas on alles tänapäevani.
21 Ja Iisrael läks teele ning lõi oma telgi üles teispoole Karjatorni.
22 Ja kui Iisrael elas seal maal, juhtus, et Ruuben läks ja magas oma isa liignaise Billa juures. Ja Iisrael sai sellest kuulda.
23 Jaakobil oli kaksteist poega; Lea pojad: Ruuben, Jaakobi esmasündinu, Siimeon, Leevi, Juuda, Issaskar ja Sebulon;
24 Raaheli pojad: Joosep ja Benjamin;
25 Billa, Raaheli ümmardaja pojad: Daan ja Naftali;
26 Silpa, Lea ümmardaja pojad: Gaad ja Aaser. Need olid Jaakobi pojad, kes sündisid temale Mesopotaamias.
27 Ja Jaakob jõudis oma isa Iisaki juurde Mamresse, Kirjat-Arbasse, see on Hebronisse, kus Aabraham ja Iisak olid võõrastena elanud.
28 Ja Iisaki elupäevi oli sada kaheksakümmend aastat.
29 Siis Iisak heitis hinge ja suri; ta koristati oma rahva juurde, vana ja elatanud; ta pojad Eesav ja Jaakob matsid tema.
1 And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.
2 Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:
3 And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.
4 Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.
5 So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.
6 And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.
7 And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.
8 And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.
9 Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,
10 Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.
11 And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;
12 And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.
13 Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.
14 And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.
15 And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.
16 So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.
17 And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.
18 And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.
19 So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).
20 And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.
21 And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.
22 Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.
23 Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;
24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.
27 And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.
28 And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.
29 Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
