Genesis · Chapter 35
And Elohim said unto Ya'aqov, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto Elohim, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Then Ya'aqov said unto his household, and to all that
were with him, Put away the strange gods that
are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto Elohim, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
And they gave unto Ya'aqov all the strange gods which
were in their hand, and
all their earrings which
were in their ears; and Ya'aqov hid them under the oak which
was by Shechem.
And they journeyed: and the terror of Elohim was upon the cities that
were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Ya'aqov.
So Ya'aqov came to Luz, which
is in the land of Canaan, that
is, Bethel, he and all the people that
were with him.
And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there Elohim appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
But Devorah Rivqah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
And Elohim appeared unto Ya'aqov again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him.
And Elohim said unto him, Thy name
is Ya'aqov: thy name shall not be called any more Ya'aqov, but Yisra'el shall be thy name: and he called his name Yisra'el.
And Elohim said unto him, I
am Elohim Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
And the land which I gave Avraham and Yitschaq, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
And Elohim went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
And Ya'aqov set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him,
even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
And Ya'aqov called the name of the place where Elohim spake with him, Bethel.
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
And it came to pass, as her nephesh was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which
is
Beit Lechem.
And Ya'aqov set a pillar upon her grave: that
is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.
And Yisra'el journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
And it came to pass, when Yisra'el dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Yisra'el heard
it.
Now the sons of Ya'aqov were twelve:
The sons of Le'ah; Reuben, Ya'aqov’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
The sons of Rachel; Yoseph, and Benjamin:
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
And the sons of Zilpah, Le'ah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these
are the sons of Ya'aqov, which were born to him in Padan-aram.
And Ya'aqov came unto Yitschaq his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which
is Chevron, where Avraham and Yitschaq sojourned.
And the days of Yitschaq were an hundred and fourscore years.
And Yitschaq gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people,
being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Ya'aqov buried him.

Genesis · Chapter 36
Now these
are the generations of Esau, who
is Edom.
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
And Bashemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these
are
the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Ya'aqov.
For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau
is Edom.
And these
are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
These
are the names of Esau’s sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these
were the sons of Adah Esau’s wife.
And these
are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.
And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
These
were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn
son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
Duke Korah, duke Gatam,
and duke Amalek: these
are
the dukes
that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these
were the sons of Adah.
And these
are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these
are the dukes
that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these
are the sons of Bashemath Esau’s wife.
And these
are the sons of Aholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these
were the dukes
that came
of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.
These
are the sons of Esau, who
is Edom, and these
are their dukes.
These
are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these
are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister
was Timna.
And the children of Shobal
were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
And these
are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this
was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
And the children of Anah
were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
And these
are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
The children of Ezer
are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
The children of Dishan
are these: Uz, and Aran.
These
are the dukes
that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these
are the dukes
that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
And these
are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Yisra'el.
And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city
was Dinhabah.
And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city
was
Avith.
And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
And Samlah died, and Sha'ul of Rehoboth
by the river reigned in his stead.
And Sha'ul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city
was Pau; and his wife’s name
was
Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
And these
are the names of the dukes
that came
of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these
be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he
is Esau the father of the Edomites.

Bereshit37
Genesis · Chapter 37
And Ya'aqov dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
These
are the generations of Ya'aqov. Yoseph,
being
seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad
was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Yoseph brought unto his father their evil report.
Now Yisra'el loved Yoseph more than all his children, because he
was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of
many
colours.
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
And Yoseph dreamed a dream, and he told
it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
For, behold, we
were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
And he told
it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What
is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
And Yisra'el said unto Yoseph, Do not thy brethren feed
the flock
in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here
am I.
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Chevron, and he came to Shechem.
And a certain man found him, and, behold,
he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed
their flocks.
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Yoseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
And Reuben heard
it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood,
but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
And it came to pass, when Yoseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Yoseph out of his coat,
his coat of
many colours that
was on him;
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit
was
empty,
there was no water in it.
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry
it down to Mitsrayim.
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit
is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he
is our brother
and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Yoseph out of the pit, and sold Yoseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty
pieces of silver: and they brought Yoseph into Mitsrayim.
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Yoseph
was
not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child
is
not; and I, whither shall I go?
And they took Yoseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
And they sent the coat of
many colours, and they brought
it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it
be thy son’s coat or no.
And he knew it, and said,
It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Yoseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
And Ya'aqov rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
And the Midianites sold him into Mitsrayim unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s,
and captain of the guard.
