Genesis 35

Revised Webster's Bible

1And GodH430 saidH559 to JacobH3290, AriseH6965, go upH5927 to BethelH1008, and dwellH3427 there: and makeH6213 there an altarH4196 to GodH410, who appearedH7200 to thee when thou fleddestH1272 from the faceH6440 of EsauH6215 thy brotherH251. 2Then JacobH3290 saidH559 to his householdH1004, and to all that were with him, Put awayH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 that are among youH8432, and be cleanH2891, and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071: 3And let us ariseH6965, and go upH5927 to BethelH1008; and I will makeH6213 there an altarH4196 to GodH410, who answeredH6030 me in the dayH3117 of my distressH6869, and was with me in the wayH1870 which I wentH1980. 4And they gaveH5414 to JacobH3290 all the foreignH5236 godsH430 which were in their handH3027, and the earringsH5141 which were in their earsH241; and JacobH3290 hidH2934 them under the oakH424 which was by ShechemH7927. 5And they journeyedH5265: and the terrorH2847 of GodH430 was on the citiesH5892 that were aroundH5439 them, and they did not pursueH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290.

6So JacobH3290 cameH935 to LuzH3870, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, that is, BethelH1008, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him. 7And he builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 ElbethelH416: because there GodH430 appearedH1540 to him, when he fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251.1 8But DeborahH1683 Rebekah’sH7259 nurseH3243 diedH4191, and she was buriedH6912 beneath BethelH1008 under an oakH437: and the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 AllonbachuthH439.2 9And GodH430 appearedH7200 to JacobH3290 again, when he cameH935 out of PadanaramH6307, and blessedH1288 him. 10And GodH430 saidH559 to him, Thy nameH8034 is JacobH3290: thy nameH8034 shall not be calledH7121 any more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034: and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 IsraelH3478. 11And GodH430 saidH559 to him, I am GodH410 AlmightyH7706: be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235; a nationH1471 and a multitudeH6951 of nationsH1471 shall spring from thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH3318 out of thy loinsH2504; 12And the landH776 which I gaveH5414 to AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327, to thee I will give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 will I giveH5414 the landH776. 13And GodH430 went upH5927 from him in the placeH4725 where he talkedH1696 with him. 14And JacobH3290 set upH5324 a pillarH4676 in the placeH4725 where he talkedH1696 with him, even a pillarH4678 of stoneH68: and he pouredH5258 a drink offeringH5262 on it, and he pouredH3332 oilH8081 on it. 15And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 where GodH430 spokeH1696 with him, BethelH1008.

16And they journeyedH5265 from BethelH1008; and there was butH5750 a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 to EphrathH672: and RachelH7354 travailedH3205, and she had hardH7185 labourH3205.3 17And it came to pass, when she was in hardH7185 labourH3205, that the midwifeH3205 saidH559 to her, FearH3372 not; thou shalt have this sonH1121 also. 18And it came to pass, as her soulH5315 was in departingH3318, (for she diedH4191) that she calledH7121 his nameH8034 BenoniH1126: but his fatherH1 calledH7121 him BenjaminH1144.45 19And RachelH7354 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in the wayH1870 to EphrathH672, which is BethlehemH1035. 20And JacobH3290 setH5324 a pillarH4676 on her graveH6900: that is the pillarH4678 of Rachel’sH7354 graveH6900 to this dayH3117.

21And IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and spreadH5186 his tentH168 beyondH1973 the towerH4026 of EdarH4029. 22And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 dweltH7931 in that landH776, that ReubenH7205 wentH3212 and layH7901 with BilhahH1090 his father’sH1 concubineH6370: and IsraelH3478 heardH8085 it . Now the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 were twelveH8147H6240: 23The sonsH1121 of LeahH3812; ReubenH7205, Jacob’sH3290 firstbornH1060, and SimeonH8095, and LeviH3878, and JudahH3063, and IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074: 24The sonsH1121 of RachelH7354; JosephH3130, and BenjaminH1144: 25And the sonsH1121 of BilhahH1090, Rachel’sH7354 handmaidH8198; DanH1835, and NaphtaliH5321: 26And the sonsH1121 of ZilpahH2153, Leah’sH3812 handmaidH8198; GadH1410, and AsherH836: these are the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, who were bornH3205 to him in PadanaramH6307. 27And JacobH3290 cameH935 to IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 to MamreH4471, to the city of ArbahH7153, which is HebronH2275, where AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 sojournedH1481. 28And the daysH3117 of IsaacH3327 were an hundredH3967H8141 and eightyH8084 yearsH8141. 29And IsaacH3327 gave up the ghostH1478, and diedH4191, and was gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971, being oldH2205 and fullH7649 of daysH3117: and his sonsH1121 EsauH6215 and JacobH3290 buriedH6912 him.
