Then he said - Not Jacob, shall thy name be called any more, but Israel, - For thou hast contended with God and with men and hast prevailed.

For this cause, the sons of Israel eat not of the nerve of the large hip-sinew, which is by the hollow of the thigh, until this day, - because he touched the hollow of the thigh of Jacob, in the nerve of the hip-sinew.

And he set up there an altar, - and called it, El-elohe-Israel.

Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly, - for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter, seeing that so, it should not be done.

And God said to him, Thy name, is Jacob, - Thy name shall no longer he called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. So he called his name, Israel.

Then Israel brake up, - and spread his tent at a distance from Migdal Eder.

And it came to pass while Israel inhabited that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And so the Sons of Israel came to be Twelve.

And, these, are the kings, who reigned in the land of Edom, - before there reigned a king of the sons of Israel:

Now, Israel, loved Joseph more than any of his sons, because he was to him, the son of his old age, and he had made him, a long tunic.

So Israel said unto Joseph Are not, thy brethren, feeding the flock in Shechem? Come on! and let me send thee unto them. And he said to him Behold me!

Thus came in the sons of Israel, to buy corn in the midst of them that came - for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

And Israel said, Wherefore did ye ill to me, - to tell the man, there yet remained to you a brother?

Then said Judah unto Israel his father - Come! send thou down the young man with me that we may arise and go our way, - and live and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.

Then Israel their father said unto them - If so, then do this, - Take of the song of the land in your vessels, and carry down to the man a present, - A little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth gum and cistus gum, pistachio nuts, and almonds.

And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh, - and gave them provisions for the way:

And Israel said, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet alive, I must go and see him before I die!

So Israel brake up, with all that he had, and came in to Beer-sheba, - and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God said to Israel in the visions of the night, and he said - Jacob! Jacob!

So Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba, - and the sons of Israel brought Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the waggons which Pharaoh had sent to bring him;

Now, these, are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt - Jacob and his sons, - the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben:

Then yoked Joseph his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father towards Goshen, - and he appeared unto him, and fell upon his neck, and wept upon his neck a good while.

Then said Israel unto Joseph I am ready to die at last, - now that I have seen thy face, in that thou art, yet alive.

Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, - and gained possessions therein, and became fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.

And the days of Israel drew near that he must die, so he called for his son for Joseph and said to him - If, I pray thee I have found favour in thine eyes, place, I pray thee thy hand under my thigh, - so shalt thou deal with me in lovingkindness and faithfulness - Do not I pray thee, bury me in Egypt.

Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel how himself down on the head of the couch.

And one told Jacob, and said - Lo! thy son Joseph, coming in unto thee. So Israel strengthened himself, and sat up on the couch.

Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, - and said - Who are these?

Now, the eyes of Israel, had become dim from old age, - he could not see, - so he drew them near unto him, and kissed them, and embraced them.

And Israel said unto Joseph, To see thine own face, had I not thought, - and lo! God hath caused me to see even thy seed!

And Joseph took them both, - Ephraim in his right hand on Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand, on Israel's right hand, and drew them near unto him.

Then Israel put forth his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, though, he, was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, - crossing his hands, although, Manasseh, was the first-born.

And he blessed them on that day, saying - In thee, let Israel bless himself saying, God set thee as Ephraim, and as Manasseh! So he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

And Israel said unto Joseph: Lo! I, am about to die, - but it shall come to pass that, God will be with you, and will take you back into the land of your fathers.

Assemble yourselves and hear ye sons of Jacob, - And hearken unto Israel your father!

Accursed, be their anger, because fierce, And their wrath because cruel, - I divide them in Jacob, And I disperse them in Israel.

Dan, shall vindicate his people, - as one of the tribes of Israel;

But abideth, as an enduring one, his bow, And supple are the arms of his hands, - From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, From thence, is the Shepherd the Stone of Israel:

All these, are the twelve tribes of Israel, - And this, is that which their father spake to them when he blessed them, Each man severally according to the blessing wherewith he blessed them.

Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, - so the physicians embalmed Israel.

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, - God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.
