rsv@Genesis:35:1 @ God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
rsv@Genesis:35:2 @ So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;
rsv@Genesis:35:3 @ then let us arise and go up to Bethel, that I may make there an altar to the God who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."
rsv@Genesis:35:4 @ So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was near Shechem.
rsv@Genesis:35:5 @ And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were round about them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
rsv@Genesis:35:6 @ And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him,
rsv@Genesis:35:7 @ and there he built an altar, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother.
rsv@Genesis:35:8 @ And Deb'orah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel; so the name of it was called Al'lon-bacuth.
rsv@Genesis:35:9 @ God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
rsv@Genesis:35:10 @ And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." So his name was called Israel.
rsv@Genesis:35:11 @ And God said to him, "I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall spring from you.
rsv@Genesis:35:12 @ The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."
rsv@Genesis:35:13 @ Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.
rsv@Genesis:35:14 @ And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.
rsv@Genesis:35:15 @ So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.
rsv@Genesis:35:16 @ Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
rsv@Genesis:35:17 @ And when she was in her hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Fear not; for now you will have another son."
rsv@Genesis:35:18 @ And as her soul was departing (for she died), she called his name Ben-o'ni; but his father called his name Benjamin.
rsv@Genesis:35:19 @ So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem),
rsv@Genesis:35:20 @ and Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave; it is the pillar of Rachel's tomb, which is there to this day.
rsv@Genesis:35:21 @ Israel journeyed on, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
rsv@Genesis:35:22 @ While Israel dwelt in that land Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
rsv@Genesis:35:23 @ The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's first-born), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Is'sachar, and Zeb'ulun.
rsv@Genesis:35:26 @ The sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
rsv@Genesis:35:27 @ And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kir'iath-ar'ba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
rsv@Genesis:35:29 @ And Isaac breathed his last; and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
