And Jacob said to his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;
and we will arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.

and the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it; and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured on it a drink-offering, and he poured on it oil.
And Jacob called the name of the place, where God spoke with him, Bethel.
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was yet some way to come to Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, and it went hard with her in childbirth.
And it came to pass when it went hard in her bearing, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; for this also [is] a son for thee.
And it came to pass as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Benoni ; but his father called him Benjamin .

And it came to pass when 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:

the sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin;
and the sons of Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid, Dan and Naphtali;
and the sons of Zilpah Leah’s handmaid, Gad and Asher. These [are] the sons of Jacob that were born to him in Padan-Aram.
