CAB(i)
1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
3 And let us rise and go up to Bethel, and let us there make an alter to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which is in Shechem, and destroyed them to this day.
5 So Israel departed from Shechem, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
6 And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, which is Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Bethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
8 And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Bethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
9 And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luz, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
10 And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and He called his name Israel.
11 And God said to him, I am your God; be fruitful and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come out of your loins.
12 And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I have given to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.
13 And God went up from him from the place where He spoke with him.
