The Scriptures 1998

Genesis 35:5-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. And they departed, and the fear of Elohim was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ.

6. And Ya‛aqoḇ came to Luz, that is Bĕyth Ěl, which is in the land of Kena‛an, he and all the people who were with him.

7. And he built there an altar and called the place El Bĕyth Ěl, because there Elohim appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

8. And Deḇorah, Riḇqah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bĕyth Ěl under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Baḵuth.

9. And Elohim appeared to Ya‛aqoḇ again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10. And Elohim said to him, “Your name is Ya‛aqoḇ, your name is no longer called Ya‛aqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl is your name.” So He called his name Yisra’ĕl.

11. And Elohim said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai. Bear fruit and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you, and sovereigns come from your body.

12. “And the land which I gave Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq I give to you. And to your seed after you I give this land.”

13. And Elohim went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.
