Chapter 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. |
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: |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
8
|
But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried
beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called
Allonbachuth. |
9
|
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
Padanaram, and blessed him. |
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. |
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; |
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. |
13
|
And God went up from him in the place where he talked
with him. |
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. |
15
|
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake
with him, Bethel. |
16
|
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little
way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had
hard labor. |
17
|
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that
the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this
son also. |
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. |
19
|
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath,
which is Bethlehem. |
20
|
And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar
of Rachel's grave unto this day. |
21
|
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the
tower of Edar. |
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: |
23
|
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon,
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: |
24
|
The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: |
25
|
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: |
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. |
27
|
And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto
the city of Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac
sojourned. |
28
|
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. |
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. |
