9 God appeared¹ to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; ^mno longer shall your name be called Jacob, but ⁿIsrael shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. 11 And God said to him, ^o“I am God Almighty:² be ^pfruitful and multiply. ^qA nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.³ 12 ^rThe land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.” 13 Then God ^swent up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. 14 And Jacob ^tset up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. 15 So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him ^uBethel.

16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance⁴ from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor. 17 And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for ^vyou have another son.” 18 And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;^{5 w}but his father called him Benjamin.⁶ 19 So ^xRachel died, and she was buried on the way to ^yEphrath (that is, Bethlehem), 20 and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is ^zthe pillar of Rachel’s tomb, which is there to this day. 21 Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and ^alay with Bilhah his father’s concubine. And Israel heard of it.

Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. 23 The sons of Leah: ^bReuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, 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 were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27 And Jacob came to his father Isaac at ^cMamre, or ^dKiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. 28 Now the days of Isaac were 180 years. 29 And Isaac breathed his last, and he died ^eand was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And ^fhis sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
