| 35:1 |
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and
dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that
appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of
Esau thy brother. |
| 35:2 |
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that
were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among
you, and be clean, and change your garments: |
| 35:3 |
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will
make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day
of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. |
| 35:4 |
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which
were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in
their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by
Shechem. |
| 35:5 |
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon
the cities that were round about them, and they did not
pursue after the sons of Jacob. |
| 35:6 |
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan,
that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. |
| 35:7 |
And he built there an altar, and called the place
Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he
fled from the face of his brother. |
| 35:8 |
But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried
beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was
called Allonbachuth. |
| 35:9 |
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out
of Padanaram, and blessed him. |
| 35:10 |
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name
shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be
thy name: and he called his name Israel. |
| 35:11 |
And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful
and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be
of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; |
| 35:12 |
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee
I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give
the land. |
| 35:13 |
And God went up from him in the place where he talked
with him. |
| 35:14 |
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he
talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a
drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. |
| 35:15 |
And Jacob called the name of the place where God
spake with him, Bethel. |
| 35:16 |
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a
little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and
she had hard labour. |
| 35:17 |
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour,
that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have
this son also. |
| 35:18 |
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for
she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father
called him Benjamin. |
| 35:19 |
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to
Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. |
| 35:20 |
And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the
pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. |
| 35:21 |
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the
tower of Edar. |
| 35:22 |
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land,
that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's
concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob
were twelve: |
| 35:23 |
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and
Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: |
| 35:24 |
The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: |
| 35:25 |
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and
Naphtali: |
| 35:26 |
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and
Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to
him in Padanaram. |
| 35:27 |
And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto
the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and
Isaac sojourned. |
| 35:28 |
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore
years. |
| 35:29 |
And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was
gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and
his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. |
