And God said unto him: I am God almighty / grow and multiply: for people and a multitude of people shall spring of the / ye and kings shall come out of they loins. And the land which I gave Abraham & Isaac / will I give unto the / & unto thy seed after the will I give it also. And god departed from him in the place where he talked with him. And Jacob set up a mark in the place where he talked with him: even a pillar of stone / & poured drink offering thereon and poured also oil thereon / and called the name of the place where God spake with him / Bethel.
And God sayde vnto him: I am God allmightie / growe and multiplye: for people and a multitude of people shall sprynge of the / yee ād kynges shall come out of they loynes. And the lande which I gaue Abrahā & Isaac / will I geue vnto the / & vnto thi seed after the will I geue it also. And god departed frō him in the place where he talked with him.

And they departed from Bethel / & when he was but a field breed from Ephrath / Rachel began to travel. And in travelling she was in peril. And as she was in pains of her labour / the midwife said unto her: fear not / for thou shalt have this son also. Then as her soul was a departing / that she must dye: she called his name Ben O•i. But his father called him Ben Jamin. And thus dyed Rachel and was buried in the way to Ephrath which now is called Bethlehem. And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave / which is called Rachels grave pillar unto this day. And Israel went thē ce and pitched up his tent beyond the tour of Eder.
