Genesis 35

1 And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother. [c]
2 Then Jacob said to 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: [c]
3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. [c]
4 And they gave to 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. [c]
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. [c]
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. [c]
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother. [c]
8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. [c]
9 And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. [c]
10 And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel. [c]
11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins; [c]
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you will I give the land. [c]
13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. [c]
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. [c]
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel. [c]
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. [c]
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you shall have this son also. [c]
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. [c]
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. [c]
20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day. [c]
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. [c]
22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelled 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: [c]
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: [c]
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: [c]
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: [c]
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. [c]
27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. [c]
28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. [c]
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. [c]
