God tells Jacob to go make an altar where he appeared to him when he fled Esau. Jacob does so and anoints it Bethel.
Jacob collects all the foreign gods and earring from his company. Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dies and is buried.
A different version of God changing Jacob's name to Israel is told. God gives him all the land he gave Abraham and Isaac.
Rachel dies in childbirth, bearing Benjamin. Jacob buries her and constructs a pillar that remains to this day.
Reuben, Jacob's first born, lies with Israel's concubine. Isaac dies at 180 and Jacob and Esau bury him.
