Genesis 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 * 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 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 Arbah,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.
