Genesis 35:1-15

1Then GodH430 saidH559 toH413 JacobH3290, “AriseH6965, go upH5927 toH1008 BethelH1008, and settleH3427 thereH8033. BuildH6213 an altarH4196 thereH8033 to the GodH410 who appearedH7200 toH413 you when you fledH1272 fromH6440 your brotherH251 EsauH6215.”

2So JacobH3290 toldH559H413 his householdH1004H413 and allH3605 whoH834 were with himH5973, “Get rid ofH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 thatH834 are among youH8432. Purify yourselvesH2891 and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071. 3Then let us ariseH6965 and goH5927 toH1008 BethelH1008. I will buildH6213 an altarH4196 thereH8033 to GodH410, who answeredH6030 meH853 in my dayH3117 of distressH6869. He has beenH1961 with meH5978 whereverH1870 I have goneH1980.”

4So they gaveH5414H413 JacobH3290 allH3605 theirH834H3027 foreignH5236 godsH430 and all their earringsH5141, and JacobH3290 buriedH2934 themH853 underH8478 the oakH4241 nearH5973 ShechemH7927.

5As they set outH5265, a terrorH2847 from GodH430 fellH1961 overH5921 the surroundingH5439 citiesH5892, so that they did notH3808 pursueH7291H310 Jacob’sH3290 sonsH1121. 6So JacobH3290 and everyoneH3605H5971 with himH5973 arrivedH935 in LuzH3870 (that isH1931H1008, BethelH1008H1931) in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 7ThereH8033 Jacob builtH1129 an altarH4196, and he calledH7121 that placeH4725 El-bethelH416,2 becauseH3588 it was thereH8033 that GodH430 had revealed HimselfH1540 toH413 Jacob as he fledH1272 fromH6440 his brotherH251.

8Now DeborahH1683, Rebekah’sH7259 nurseH3243, diedH4191 and was buriedH6912 underH8478 the oakH4373 belowH8478 BethelH1008. So Jacob namedH7121 it Allon-bacuthH439.4

9After Jacob had returnedH935 fromH6307 Paddan-aramH758,5 GodH430 appearedH7200 toH413 him againH5750 and blessedH1288 himH853. 10And GodH430 saidH559 to him, “Though your nameH8034 is JacobH3290,6 you will noH3808 longerH5750 be calledH7121H8034 JacobH3290. InsteadH3588H518, your nameH8034 will beH1961 IsraelH3478.7” So God namedH7121 himH8034 IsraelH3478.

11And GodH430 toldH559 him, “IH589 am GodH410 AlmightyH7706.8 Be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235. A nationH1471—even a companyH6951 of nationsH1471—shall comeH1961 from youH4480, and kingsH4428 shall descendH3318 from youH2504. 12The landH776 thatH834 I gaveH5414 to AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 I will giveH5414 to you, and I will giveH5414 this landH776 to your descendantsH2233 after youH310.”

13Then GodH430 went upH5927 fromH5921 the placeH4725 whereH834 He had spokenH1696 with himH854.

14So JacobH3290 set upH5324 a pillarH4676 in the placeH4725 whereH834 God had spokenH1696 with himH854—a stoneH68 markerH4678—and he poured outH5258 a drink offeringH5262 on itH5921 and anointed itH3332H5921 with oilH8081. 15JacobH3290 calledH7121H8034 the placeH4725 whereH834 GodH430 had spokenH1696 with himH854 BethelH8033H1008.9
