Jacob
Moves to Bethel |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 35:1
|
|
Then God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel
and live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled
from your brother Esau." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:2
|
|
So Jacob said to his household and to all who
were with him, "Put away the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves
and change your garments; |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:3
|
|
and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I
will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and
has been with me wherever I have gone." |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:4
|
|
So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which
they had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the
oak which was near Shechem. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:5
|
|
As they journeyed, there was a great terror
upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
|
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:6
|
|
So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which
is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:7
|
|
He built an altar there, and called the place
El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from his
brother. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:8
|
|
Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she
was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was named Allon-bacuth. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jacob
Is Named Israel |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:9
|
|
Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came
from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:10
|
|
God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; You shall
no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him
Israel. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:11
|
|
God also said to him, "I am God Almighty; Be
fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you,
And kings shall come forth from you. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:12
|
|
"The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac,
I will give it to you, And I will give the land to your descendants after you."
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:13
|
|
Then God went up from him in the place where
He had spoken with him. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:14
|
|
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; he also poured oil on it. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:15
|
|
So Jacob named the place where God had spoken
with him, Bethel. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:16
|
|
Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there
was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered
severe labor. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:17
|
|
When she was in severe labor the midwife said
to her, "Do not fear, for now you have another son." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:18
|
|
It came about as her soul was departing (for
she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:19
|
|
So Rachel died and was buried on the way to
Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:20
|
|
Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that is
the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 35:21
|
|
Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent
beyond the tower of Eder. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:22
|
|
It came about while Israel was dwelling in that
land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel
heard of it. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
Sons of Israel |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Now there were twelve sons of Jacob-- |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:23
|
|
the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn,
then Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun; |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:24
|
|
the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin; |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:25
|
|
and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid: Dan and
Naphtali; |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:26
|
|
and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid: Gad and
Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:27
|
|
Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriath-arba
(that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:28
|
|
Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty
years. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 35:29
|
|
Isaac breathed his last and died and was gathered
to his people, an old man of ripe age; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. |
