Genesis 35
GEN 35:1 And God saith unto Jacob, `Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and
make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee in thy fleeing from the face
of Esau thy brother.'
GEN 35:2 And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who `are' with him,
`Turn aside the gods of the stranger which `are' in your midst, and cleanse
yourselves, and change your garments;
GEN 35:3 and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who
is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have
gone.'
GEN 35:4 And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that `are' in
their hand, and the rings that `are' in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under
the oak which `is' by Shechem;
GEN 35:5 and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which `are'
round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
GEN 35:6 And Jacob cometh in to Luz which `is' in the land of Canaan (it `is'
Bethel), he and all the people who `are' with him,
GEN 35:7 and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the place the God of
Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto him, in his fleeing from the face
of his brother.
GEN 35:8 And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at the lower
part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its name `Oak of weeping.'
GEN 35:9 And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and
blesseth him;
GEN 35:10 and God saith to him, `Thy name `is' Jacob: thy name is no more called
Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his name Israel.
GEN 35:11 And God saith to him, `I `am' God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply,
a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go
out;
GEN 35:12 and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac -- to thee I
give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.'
GEN 35:13 And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath spoken with him.
GEN 35:14 And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath
spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation,
and he poureth on it oil;
GEN 35:15 and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake with him
Bethel.
GEN 35:16 And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath of land
before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is sharply pained in her
bearing;
GEN 35:17 and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her bearing,
that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this also `is' a son for thee.'
GEN 35:18 And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for she died),
that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father called him Benjamin;
GEN 35:19 and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha, which `is'
Bethlehem,
GEN 35:20 and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave; which `is' the
standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
GEN 35:21 And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond the tower of
Edar;
GEN 35:22 and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land, that Reuben
goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heareth.
GEN 35:23 And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's first-born
Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
GEN 35:24 Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
GEN 35:25 And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.
GEN 35:26 And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher. These `are'
sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in Padan-Aram.
GEN 35:27 And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city of Arba
(which `is' Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have sojourned.
GEN 35:28 And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years,
GEN 35:29 and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people, aged
and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and Jacob his sons.
