And He said, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for like a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed.

Therefore the sons of Israel do not eat of the sinew of the thigh, which is on the hip-socket, until this day, because He touched Jacob's hip-socket, the sinew of the thigh.

And he erected there an altar, and called it El, the God of Israel.

And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard. And the men were furious, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel, in lying with the daughter of Jacob. And it ought not to be done so.

And God said to him, Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be called Jacob any more, but Israel shall be your name. And He called his name Israel.

And Israel moved, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

And it happened when Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine. And Israel heard it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve:

And these were the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before the reigning of a king over the sons of Israel.

And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a tunic reaching to the soles of his feet.

And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers feed the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here I am.

And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

And Israel said, Why have you dealt ill with me, to tell the man whether you had yet a brother?

And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, also our little ones.

And their father Israel said to them, If it be so now, do this. Take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and bring a present down to the man, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds.

And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

And Israel said, It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.

And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here I am.

And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba. And the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

And these were the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first-born.

And Joseph made his chariot ready, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him. And he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.

And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive.

And Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they had possession in it, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

And the days of Israel to die drew near. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found grace in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt.

And he said, Swear to me. And he swore to him. And Israel bowed on the head of the bed.

And one spoke to Jacob, and said, Behold, your son Joseph comes to you. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.

And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

And the eyes of Israel were dim for age; he could not see. And he brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.

And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought I would see your face, and, lo, God has showed me also your seed.

And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel's right hand. And he brought them near to him.

And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left on Manasseh's head, crossing his hands. For Manasseh was the first-born.

And he blessed them that day, saying, In you shall Israel bless, saying, God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die. But God shall be with you, and bring you again into the land of your fathers.

Gather yourselves together, and hear, sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.

Let their anger be cursed, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob (from the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel);

All these were the twelve tribes of Israel. And this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them; everyone according to his blessing he blessed them.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.

And Joseph took an oath of the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.
