The Latter Days - Genesis Chapter 35

Gen 35:1 And God [0430] said [0559] (8799) unto Jacob [03290], Arise [06965] (8798), go up [05927] (8798) to Bethel [01008], and dwell [03427] (8798) there: and make [06213] (8798) there an altar [04196] unto God [0410], that appeared [07200] (8737) unto thee when thou fleddest [01272] (8800) from the face [06440] of Esau [06215] thy brother [0251].
Gen 35:2 Then Jacob [03290] said [0559] (8799) unto his household [01004], and to all that were with him, Put away [05493] (8685) the strange [05236] gods [0430] that are among you [08432], and be clean [02891] (8690), and change [02498] (8685) your garments [08071]:
Gen 35:3 And let us arise [06965] (8799), and go up [05927] (8799) to Bethel [01008]; and I will make [06213] (8799) there an altar [04196] unto God [0410], who answered [06030] (8802) me in the day [03117] of my distress [06869], and was with me in the way [01870] which I went [01980] (8804).
Gen 35:4 And they gave [05414] (8799) unto Jacob [03290] all the strange [05236] gods [0430] which were in their hand [03027], and [all their] earrings [05141] which were in their ears [0241]; and Jacob [03290] hid [02934] (8799) them under the oak [0424] which was by Shechem [07927].
Gen 35:5 And they journeyed [05265] (8799): and the terror [02847] of God [0430] was upon the cities [05892] that were round about [05439] them, and they did not pursue [07291] (8804) after [0310] the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290].
Gen 35:6 So Jacob [03290] came [0935] (8799) to Luz [03870], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], that is, Bethel [01008], he and all the people [05971] that were with him.
Gen 35:7 And he built [01129] (8799) there an altar [04196], and called [07121] (8799) the place [04725] Elbethel [0416]: because there God [0430] appeared [01540] (8738) unto him, when he fled [01272] (8800) from the face [06440] of his brother [0251].
Gen 35:8 But Deborah [01683] Rebekah's [07259] nurse [03243] (8688) died [04191] (8799), and she was buried [06912] (8735) beneath Bethel [01008] under an oak [0437]: and the name [08034] of it was called [07121] (8799) Allonbachuth [0439].
Gen 35:9 And God [0430] appeared [07200] (8735) unto Jacob [03290] again, when he came [0935] (8800) out of Padanaram [06307], and blessed [01288] (8762) him.
Gen 35:10 And God [0430] said [0559] (8799) unto him, Thy name [08034] is Jacob [03290]: thy name [08034] shall not be called [07121] (8735) any more Jacob [03290], but Israel [03478] shall be thy name [08034]: and he called [07121] (8799) his name [08034] Israel [03478].
Gen 35:11 And God [0430] said [0559] (8799) unto him, I [am] God [0410] Almighty [07706]: be fruitful [06509] (8798) and multiply [07235] (8798); a nation [01471] and a company [06951] of nations [01471] shall be of thee, and kings [04428] shall come [03318] (8799) out of thy loins [02504];
Gen 35:12 And the land [0776] which I gave [05414] (8804) Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327], to thee I will give it [05414] (8799), and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] will I give [05414] (8799) the land [0776].
Gen 35:13 And God [0430] went up [05927] (8799) from him in the place [04725] where he talked [01696] (8765) with him.
Gen 35:14 And Jacob [03290] set up [05324] (8686) a pillar [04676] in the place [04725] where he talked [01696] (8765) with him, [even] a pillar [04678] of stone [068]: and he poured [05258] (8686) a drink offering [05262] thereon, and he poured [03332] (8799) oil [08081] thereon.
Gen 35:15 And Jacob [03290] called [07121] (8799) the name [08034] of the place [04725] where God [0430] spake [01696] (8765) with him, Bethel [01008].
Gen 35:16 And they journeyed [05265] (8799) from Bethel [01008]; and there was but [05750] a little [03530] way [0776] to come [0935] (8800) to Ephrath [0672]: and Rachel [07354] travailed [03205] (8799), and she had hard [07185] (8762) labour [03205] (8800).
Gen 35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard [07185] (8687) labour [03205] (8800), that the midwife [03205] (8764) said [0559] (8799) unto her, Fear [03372] (8799) not; thou shalt have this son [01121] also.
Gen 35:18 And it came to pass, as her soul [05315] was in departing [03318] (8800), (for she died [04191] (8804)) that she called [07121] (8799) his name [08034] Benoni [01126]: but his father [01] called [07121] (8804) him Benjamin [01144].
Gen 35:19 And Rachel [07354] died [04191] (8799), and was buried [06912] (8735) in the way [01870] to Ephrath [0672], which is Bethlehem [01035].
Gen 35:20 And Jacob [03290] set [05324] (8686) a pillar [04676] upon her grave [06900]: that is the pillar [04678] of Rachel's [07354] grave [06900] unto this day [03117].
Gen 35:21 And Israel [03478] journeyed [05265] (8799), and spread [05186] (8799) his tent [0168] beyond [01973] the tower [04026] of Edar [04029].
Gen 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel [03478] dwelt [07931] (8800) in that land [0776], that Reuben [07205] went [03212] (8799) and lay [07901] (8799) with Bilhah [01090] his father's [01] concubine [06370]: and Israel [03478] heard [08085] (8799) [it]. Now the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] were twelve [08147] [06240]:
Gen 35:23 The sons [01121] of Leah [03812]; Reuben [07205], Jacob's [03290] firstborn [01060], and Simeon [08095], and Levi [03878], and Judah [03063], and Issachar [03485], and Zebulun [02074]:

Gen 35:26 And the sons [01121] of Zilpah [02153], Leah's [03812] handmaid [08198]; Gad [01410], and Asher [0836]: these are the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290], which were born [03205] (8795) to him in Padanaram [06307].
Gen 35:27 And Jacob [03290] came [0935] (8799) unto Isaac [03327] his father [01] unto Mamre [04471], unto the city of Arbah [07153], which is Hebron [02275], where Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327] sojourned [01481] (8804).

Gen 35:29 And Isaac [03327] gave up the ghost [01478] (8799), and died [04191] (8799), and was gathered [0622] (8735) unto his people [05971], [being] old [02205] and full [07649] of days [03117]: and his sons [01121] Esau [06215] and Jacob [03290] buried [06912] (8799) him.
