32:1
And he abode that night at Beit-El, and Levi dreamed that they had ordained and made him the priest of the Most High Elohim, him and his sons for ever;
32:2
and he awoke from his sleep and blessed Yahuah.
32:3
And Ya’aqov rose early in the morning, on the fourteenth of this month, and he gave a tithe of all that came with him, both of men and cattle, both of gold and every vessel and garment, yea, he gave tithes of all.
32:4
And in those days Rachel became pregnant with her son Binyamin. And Ya’aqov counted his sons from him upwards and Levi fell to the portion of Yahuah,
32:5
and his father clothed him in the garments of the priesthood and filled his hands.
32:6
And on the fifteenth of this month, he brought to the altar fourteen oxen from among the cattle, and twenty-eight rams, and forty-nine sheep, and seven lambs, and twenty-one kids of the goats as a burnt-offering on the altar of sacrifice, well pleasing for a sweet savour before Elohim
32:7
This was his offering, in consequence of the vow which he had vowed that he would give a tenth, with their fruit-offerings and their drink-offerings.
32:8
And when the fire had consumed it, he burnt incense on the fire over the fire,
32:9
and for a thank-offering two oxen and four rams and four sheep, four he-goats, and two sheep of a year old, and two kids of the goats;
32:10
and thus he did daily for seven days. And he and all his sons and his men were eating (this) with joy there during seven days
32:11
and blessing and thanking Yahuah, who had delivered him out of all his tribulation and had given him his vow.
32:12
And he tithed all the clean animals, and made a burnt sacrifice, but the unclean animals he gave (not) to Levi his son, and he gave him all the souls of the men
32:13
And Levi discharged the priestly office at Beit-El before Ya’aqov his father in preference to his ten brothers, and he was a priest there,
32:14
and Ya’aqov gave his vow: thus he tithed again the tithe to Yahuah and sanctified it, and it became set-apart to Him.
32:15
And for this reason it is ordained on the heavenly tables as a law for the tithing again the tithe to eat before Yahuah from year to year, in the place where it is chosen that His name should dwell,
32:16
and to this law there is no limit of days for ever. This ordinance is written that it may be fulfilled from year to year in eating the second tithe before Yahuah in the place where it has been chosen,
32:17
and nothing shall remain over from it from this year to the year following. For in its year shall the seed be eaten till the days of the gathering of the seed of the year, and the wine till the days of the wine, and the oil till the days of its season.
32:18
And all that is left of it and becoms old, let it be regarded as polluted: let it be burnt with fire, for it is unclean.
32:19
And thus let them eat it together in the set-apart place, and let them not suffer it to become old.
32:20
And all the tithes of the oxen and sheep shall be set-apart to Yahuah, and shall belong to His priests, which they will eat before Him from year to year; for thus is it ordained and engraven regarding the tithe on the heavenly tables.
32:21
And on the following night, on the twenty-second day of this month, Ya’aqov resolved to build that place, and to surround the court with a wall, and to sanctify it and make it set-apart for ever, for himself and his children after him.
32:22
And Yahuah appeared to him by night and blessed him and said to him: "Thy name shall not be called Ya’aqov, but Yis’rael shall they name your name."
32:23
And He said to him again: "I am Yahuah who created the heaven and the earth, and I shall increase you and multiply you exceedingly, and kings will come forth from you, and they will judge everywhere wherever the foot of the sons of men has trodden.
32:24
And I shall give to your seed all the earth which is under heaven, and they will judge all the nations according to their desires, and after that they will get possession of the whole earth and inherit it for ever."
32:25
And He finished speaking with him, and He went up from him, and Ya’aqov looked till He had ascended into heaven.
32:26
And he saw in a vision of the night, and look an mal’akh descended from heaven with seven tablets in his hands, and he gave them to Ya’aqov, and he read them and knew all that was written in it which would befall him and his sons throughout all the ages.
32:27
And he showed him all that was written on the tablets, and said to him: "Do not build this place, and do not make it an eternal set-apart place, and do not dwell here; for this is not the place.
32:28
Go to the house of Avraham your father and dwell with Yitschaq your father until the day of the death of your father.
32:29
For in Mitsrayim you will die in peace, and in this land you will be buried with honour in the sepulchre of your fathers, with Avraham and Yitschaq.
32:30
Fear not, for as you hast seen and read it, thus will it all be; and do you write down everything as you hast seen and read."
32:31
And Ya’aqov said: "Yahuah, how can I remember all that I have read and seen?" And he said to him: "I will bring all things to your remembrance." And he went up from him,
32:32
and he awoke from his sleep, and he remembered everything which he had read and seen, and he wrote down all the words which he had read and seen.
32:33
And he celebrated there yet another day, and he sacrificed on it according to all that he sacrificed on the former days, and called its name "Addition,"
32:34
for this day was added, and the former days he called "The Feast." And thus it was manifested that it should be, and it is written on the heavenly tables:
32:35
therefore it was revealed to him that he should celebrate it, and add it to the seven days of the feast. And its name was called "Addition," because that it was recorded among the days of the feast days, according to the number of the days of the year.
32:36
And in the night, on the twenty-third of this month, Deborah Rebecca's nurse died, and they buried her beneath the city under the oak of the river, and he called the name of this place, "The river of Deborah," and the oak, "The oak of the mourning of Deborah."
32:37
And Rebecca went and returned to her house to his father Yitschaq, and Ya’aqov sent by her hand rams and sheep and he-goats that she should prepare a meal for his father such as he desired.
32:38
And he went after his mother till he came to the land of Kabrâtân, and he dwelt there.
32:39
And Rachel bare a son in the night, and called his name "Son of my sorrow"; for she suffered in giving him birth: but his father called his name Binyamin, on the eleventh of the eighth month in the first of the sixth week of this jubilee.
32:40
And Rachel died there and she was buried in the land of Ephrath, the same is Bethlehem,
32:41
and Ya’aqov built a pillar on the grave of Rachel, on the road above her grave.
