Elohim said to Yaakov, Arise, go up to Beis Eil and live there; make an altar there to the Almighty Who appeared [became revealed] to you when you were fleeing from your brother Eisov.

Yaakov [then] said to his household, and to everyone that was with him, Get rid of the foreign gods [false gods of the nations] in your midst. Purify yourselves and change your garments.

Let us arise and go up to Beis Eil. There I will make an altar to the Almighty, Who answered me [accepted my prayer] in the day of my distress, and Who was with me [whose Word was my support] along the way I traveled.

They gave Yaakov all the foreign gods [false gods of the nations] that were in their hands, and [also] the rings in their ears. Yaakov buried them under the oak [tree] which was near Shechem.

They began their journey. The terror of Elohim was upon the [people who were in the] cities that were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Yaakov.

Yaakov came to Luz, which was in the land of Canaan—that is, to Beis Eil—he and all the people that were with him.

There he built an altar, and he called the place Eil Beis Eil, for there Elohim was revealed to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

Devorah, Rivkah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Beis Eil, under Allon [on the lower plain]. He named it Allon of Weeping [Plain of the Weeping].

Elohim again appeared [became revealed] to Yaakov when he came from Padan Aram, and He blessed him.

Elohim said to him. Your name is Yaakov. No longer will your name be Yaakov, but Yisrael will be your name; and He named him Yisrael.

Elohim said to him, I am Almighty Shaddai. Be fruitful and increase, a nation and a community of nations [an assembly of tribes] will come from you, and kings [who rule over nations] will come out of your loins [descend from you].

The land that I gave to Avraham and Yitzchok, I will give to you; and to your offspring after you I will give the land.

[The Glory of] Elohim ascended from him at the place where He had spoken to him.

Yaakov set up a monument in the place where He had spoken to him, it was a monument of [a single] stone. He poured a libation [libations] on it, and he [also] poured oil on it.

Yaakov named the place where Elohim had spoken to him; Beis Eil, [the House of the Almighty].

They journeyed on from Beis Eil, and there was yet a stretch of land before [they would reach] Ephros when Rochel began to give birth. Her labor was very difficult.

When her labor was at its most difficult stage, the midwife said to her, Do not fear, for this one will also be a son for you.

As her soul was departing, for she died, she named him Ben Oni [son of my sorrow], but his father named him Binyomin.

Rochel died and was buried on the way to Ephros, which is Beis Lechem [Bethlehem].

Yaakov set up a monument on her grave. This monument is on Rochel’s grave to this very day.

Yisrael traveled on, and set up [spread] his tent beyond Migdal Eider [Tower of the herds].

When Yaakov was settled in that land. Reuvein went and lay near Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and Yisrael heard [about it]. The sons of Yaakov were twelve.

The sons of Leah [were]: Reuvein, Yaakov’s firstborn, Shimon, Leivi, Yehudah, Yissachar and Zevulun.

The sons of Rochel [were]: Yoseif and Binyomin.

The sons of Bilhah, Rochel’s handmaid, [were]: Don and Naftali.

The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, [were]: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Yaakov that were born to him in Padan Aram.

Yaakov came to Yitzchok, his father, in Mamrei at Kiryas Arba, which is Chevron where Avraham and Yitzchok lived.

The days of [the life of] Yitzchok were one hundred and eighty years.

Yitzchok expired and died. He was gathered to his people old and in the fullness of days. His sons, Eisov and Yaakov buried him.
