Chapter 35 of Genesis

Genesis

01:035:001 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.

01:035:002 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:

01:035:003 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.

01:035:004 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.

01:035:005 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.

01:035:006 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is,
Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

01:035:007 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.

01:035:008 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath
Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called
Allonbachuth.

01:035:009 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
Padanaram, and blessed him.

01:035:010 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.

01:035:011 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;

01:035:012 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.

01:035:013 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with
him.

01:035:014 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.

01:035:015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with
him, Bethel.

01:035:016 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way
to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard
labour.

01:035:017 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.

01:035:018 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.

01:035:019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which
is Bethlehem.

01:035:020 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of
Rachel's grave unto this day.

01:035:021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of
Edar.

01:035:022 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:

01:035:023 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and
Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

01:035:024 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

01:035:025 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

01:035:026 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these
are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

01:035:027 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city
of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

01:035:028 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

01:035:029 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.
