35:1 And Elohim said to Jacob, Arise, go up to
the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the Elohim that
appeared to thee, when thou fledest from the face of Esau thy brother.
35:2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the
strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves,
and change your clothes.
35:3 And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an alter to
Elohim who hearkened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and
preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
35:4 And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and
the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the
turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
35:5 So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of Elohim was upon the cities
round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
35:6 And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is
Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
35:7 And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel;
for there Elohim appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother
Esau.
35:8 And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under
the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
35:9 And Elohim appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of
Mesopotamia of Syria, and Elohim blessed him.
35:10 And Elohim said to him, Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel
shall be thy name; and he called his name Israel.
35:11 And Elohim said to him, I am thy Elohim; increase and multiply; for nations
and gatherings of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy
loins.
35:12 And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to
thee; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to thy seed
after thee.
35:13 And Elohim went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where Elohim spoke with him,
[even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil
upon it.
35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place in which Elohim spoke with him,
Baethel.
35:16 [[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the
tower of Gader,]] and it came to pass when he drew nigh to Chabratha, to
enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard
labour.
35:17 And it came to pass in her hard labour, that the midwife said to her,
Be of good courage, for thou shalt also have this son.
35:18 And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying),
that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name
Benjamin.
35:19 So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha,
this is Bethleem.
35:20 And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb
of Rachel, until this day.
35:21
35:22 And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Ruben went
and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and
the thing appeared grievous before him. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
35:23 The sons of Lea, the first-born of Jacob; Ruben, Symeon, Levi, Judah,
Issachar, Zabulon.
35:24 And the sons of Rachel; Joseph and Benjamin.
35:25 And the sons of Balla, the hand-maid of Rachel; Dan and Nephthalim.
35:26 And the sons of Zelpha, the hand-maid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These
[are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
35:27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain;
this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
35:28 And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
35:29 And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old
and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him. |
35:1 And Elohim said unto Jacob, Arise, go up
to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto Elohim, 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 Bethel; and I will make there an altar
unto Elohim, 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 Elohim 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, Bethel,
he and all the people that were with him.
35:7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because
there Elohim 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 Bethel
under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
35:9 And Elohim appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and
blessed him.
35:10 And Elohim 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 Elohim said unto him, I am Elohim 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 Elohim 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 Elohim spake with him,
Bethel.
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 labor.
35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, 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 Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
35:19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is
Bethlehem.
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 Padanaram.
35:27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arba,
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. |
