Genesis 35:1-29 KJ21

[1] And God said unto Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother." [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. [3] 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." [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. [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. [6] So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people that were with him. [7] And he built there an altar and called the place Elbethel [that is, The God of Bethel], because there God appeared unto him when he fled from the face of his brother. [8] But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under an oak; and the name of it was called Allonbachuth [that is, The oak of weeping]. [9] And God appeared unto Jacob again when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. [10] And God said unto him, "Thy name is Jacob; thy name shall not be called Jacob any more, but Israel shall be thy name"; and He called his name Israel. [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. [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." [13] And God went up from him in the place where He talked with him. [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. [15] And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel. [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. [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." [18] And it came to pass as her soul was in departing (for she died), that she called his name Benoni [that is, The son of my sorrow], but his father called him Benjamin [that is, The son of the right hand]. [19] And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. [20] And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. [21] And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder. [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. [23] The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon and Levi, and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun; [24] the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin; [25] and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali; [26] and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padanaram. [27] And Jacob came unto Isaac his father at Mamre, unto the city of Arbah (which is Hebron) where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. [28] And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years. [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.
