   GENESIS 35   
      
   Jacob Returns to Bethel   
      
   1 Then God said to Jacob,"Arise, go up to Bethel, dwell there,   
   and there make an altar to God, who appeared to you when you   
    fled from the face of Esau your brother."   
   2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him,   
   "Put away the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves   
    and change your clothes.   
   3 Let us arise and go up to Bethel,   
   and there I will make an altar to God, who answered me   
   in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."   
   4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their possession   
    and all their earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them   
   under the oak which was near Shechem.   
   5 As they traveled, the terror of God   
    was on the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue   
    the sons of Jacob.   
   6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan,   
    he and all the people who were with him.   
   7 There he built an altar   
   and called the place El Bethel, because God had appeared to him   
   there when he fled from his brother.   
   8 Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried beneath   
   Bethel under the oak. So it was called Allon Bakuth.   
   9 God appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Paddan Aram   
    and blessed him. 10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob.   
   Your name shall not be called Jacob any more,   
   but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel.   
   11 God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply.   
    A nation and a company of nations will come from you,   
   and kings shall come forth from you. 12 The land that I gave Abraham   
   and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your descendants after you   
    I will give the land." 13 Then God went up from him in the place   
   where He had spoken with him.   
   14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him,   
   a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it, and he poured   
   oil on it too.   
   15 So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken   
    with him Bethel.   
      
    [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 El-beth-el: 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 Allon-bachuth.   
   [9] And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, 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.   
      
   The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac   
      
   16 They journeyed from Bethel, and when they were still   
   some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor,   
   and she had a difficult labor.   
   17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her,   
   "Do not fear. You will have this son also."   
   18 As her soul was departing   
   (for she died), she called his name Ben-Oni, but his father   
   called him Benjamin.   
   19 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.   
   20 Jacob set a pillar on her grave.   
   It is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.   
   21 Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.   
   22 When Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah,   
   his father's concubine, and Israel heard about it.   
      
   [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.   
   [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.   
   [18] And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that   
   she called his name Ben-oni: 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:   
      
   (Disinheritance)   
      
   Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:   
   23 The sons of Leah were   
   Reuben, Jacob's firstborn,   
   and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun.   
      
   24 The sons of Rachel were   
   Joseph and Benjamin.   
   25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant, were   
   Dan and Naphtali.   
   26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant, were   
   Gad and Asher.   
   These are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Paddan Aram.   
   27 Jacob came back to Isaac his father in Mamre of Kiriath Arba   
    (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned   
   28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.   
   29 And Isaac breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people,   
   being old and full of days, and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.   
      
   [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:
