GE-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.



GE-35:2  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:





GE-35:3  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.



GE-35:4  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.



GE-35:5  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.



GE-35:6  So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, 
that

[is], Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him.



GE-35:7  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.



GE-35:8  But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried 
beneath

Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.



GE-35:9  And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of

Padanaram, and blessed him.



GE-35:10  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.



GE-35:11  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;



GE-35:12  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.



GE-35:13  And God went up from him in the place where he talked 
with

him.



GE-35:14  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.



GE-35:15  And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake 
with

him, Bethel.



GE-35:16  And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a 
little

way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard 
labour.



GE-35:17  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.



GE-35:18  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.



GE-35:19  And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, 
which

[is] Bethlehem.



GE-35:20  And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the 
pillar

of Rachel's grave unto this day.



GE-35:21  And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the 
tower

of Edar.



GE-35:22  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:



GE-35:23  The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and 
Simeon, and

Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:



GE-35:24  The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:



GE-35:25  And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and

Naphtali:



GE-35:26  And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and 
Asher:

these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in 
Padanaram.



GE-35:27  And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto 
the

city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac 
sojourned.



GE-35:28  And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore 
years.



GE-35:29  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.
