35:1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth- el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother:

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:

35:3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth- el; 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:

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:

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:

35:6 So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan, that [is], Beth- el, he and all the people that [were] with him:

35:7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El- beth- el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother:

35:8 But Deborah Rebekah' s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth- el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon- bachuth:

35:9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan- aram, and blessed him:

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:

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:

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:

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

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:

35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth- el:

35:16 And they journeyed from Beth- el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour:

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:

35:18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, ( for she died) that she called his name Ben- oni: but his father called him Benjamin:

35:19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which [is] Beth- lehem:

35:20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel' s grave unto this day:

35:21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar:

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:

35:23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob' s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

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

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

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 Padan- aram:

35:27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned:

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

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:
