1 And God said vnto Iacob, Arise, goe vp to Bethel, and dwel there: and make there an Altar vnto God, that appeared vnto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Then Iacob said vnto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and bee cleane, and change your garments,

3 And let vs arise, and goe vp to Bethel, and I will make there an Altar vnto God, who answered me in the day of my distresse, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 And they gaue vnto Iacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their eare-rings which were in their eares, and Iacob hid them vnder the oke which was by Shechem.

5 And they iourneyed: and the terrour of God was vpon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sonnes of Iacob.

6 ¶ So Iacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (that is Bethel) hee and all the people that were with him.

7 And hee built there an Altar, and called the place El-Bethel, because there God appeared vnto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 But Deborah Rebekahs nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel vnder an oke: and the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.

9 ¶ And God appeared vnto Iacob againe, when he came out of Padan Aram, and blessed him.

10 And God said vnto him, Thy name is Iacob: thy name shall not bee called any more Iacob, but Israel shall bee thy name; and hee called his name Israel.

11 And God saide vnto him, I am God Almightie: be fruitfull and multiply: a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and Kings shall come out of thy loynes.

12 And the land which I gaue Abraham, and Isaac, to thee I will giue it, and to thy seed after thee will I giue the land.

13 And God went vp from him, in the place where he talked with him.

14 And Iacob set vp a pillar in the place where he talked with him, euen a pillar of stone: and hee powred a drinke offering thereon, and he powred oile thereon.

15 And Iacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

16 ¶ And they iourneyed from Bethel: and there was but a litle way to come to Ephrath; and Rachel traueiled, and she had hard labour.

17 And it came to passe when shee was in hard labour, that the midwife said vnto her, Feare not: thou shalt haue this sonne also.

18 And it came to passe as her soule was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Beniamin.

19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

20 And Iacob set a pillar vpon her graue: that is the pillar of Rachels graue vnto this day.

21 ¶ And Israel iourneyed and spread his tent beyond the towre of Edar.

22 And it came to passe when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went & lay with Bilhah his fathers concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sonnes of Iacob were twelue.

23 The sonnes of Leah: Reuben Iacobs first borne, and Simeon, and Leui, and Iudah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 The sonnes of Rachel: Ioseph, and Beniamin.

25 And the sonnes of Bilhah, Rachels handmaid: Dan and Naphtali.

26 And the sonnes of Zilpah, Leahs handmaid: Gad, and Asher. These are the sonnes of Iacob, which were borne to him in Padan Aram.

27 ¶ And Iacob came vnto Isaac his father vnto Mamre, vnto the citie of Arbah (which is Hebron) where Abraham and Isaac soiourned.

28 And the dayes of Isaac were an hundred and fourescore yeeres.

29 And Isaac gaue vp the ghost and died, and was gathered vnto his people, being old and full of dayes: and his sonnes Esau and Iacob buried him.

Rhonda's Genesis Chapter 35 comment on 12/04/2012, 5:15pm...

I am trying to understand all the incest that took place in this book. In this day and time it would be an outrage. I am taking that God wanted nations to be built into the world he had created. Can someone, please enlighten me.

 


HOSNY KHALIL's Genesis Chapter 35 comment on 11/14/2012, 5:00am...

Hi,
It looks like someone was telling a story, but doesn't sound God's words, if those words have been told by human, so all humans make mistakes when they tell stories, but God doesn't make mistakes or either sends prophets to get drunk and let young daughters sleep with their own father. Otherwise God was absent when his prophets did sin or fornicated with his daughters. If God allowed this to happen with a prophet and have him write this story in the bible, so, can we (as humans) do the same with our daughters? By cancelling our brain and become like animals? I need some priest to answer me please. Thanks for your reply.

 


Lorral Weaver's Genesis Chapter 35 comment on 11/09/2012, 5:38pm...

The reason that Reuben was wrong, was not because he stole his father's property, (we as women are not property) it was because Reuben committed adultery with his father's wife, or his stepmother. True the Ten Commandments hadn’t been given yet, but it was still adultery which is forbidden and wrong. Bilhah had become one with Jacob, so Reuben had defiled that union with Jacob and Bilhah. God always does things in His order. If we are allowed to do things our way, then the world would be a lot worse off than it is now.

 


Timothy Wayne George's Genesis Chapter 35 comment on 5/09/2012, 8:43am...

Jacob has repented of his sins, and set his house in order by removing all the idols that they had. When Rachel died this was very hard on Jacob because he loved her more than his other wives. God changed his name to Israel, so that he will no longer be a deceiver. Israel built, an altar there and God blessed him. God allowed those multiple wives, but he has commanded that all men repent. Every man is to have one wife, and every woman is to have one husband. We have the Holy Spirit to guide us, and they did not have that then. Nevertheless what Reuben did was wrong, and this was a result of sowing, and reaping. God would deal with the sons of Israel for their sins, and the son of his beloved wife Rachel, Joseph would rebuke them in Egypt. No one gets away with sin, and we are told if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. We must confess sin, and repent of it, then forsake it. If we walk in the spirit, we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. A wife is not the property of her husband, but the two shall become one flesh. A man is to leave his father, and mother then cleave unto his wife. When we do what God has commanded, our marriages will be blessed.

 


Emmanuel's Genesis Chapter 35 comment on 3/28/2012, 8:32am...

To my mind, this chapter reveals that Racheal surrendered all the idols she had stolen from her father. God blessed Jacob again, reiterating the change of his name
