Genesis
Chapter 35
35:1[kjv] And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
   [bbe] And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.
35:2[kjv] 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:
   [bbe] Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:
35:3[kjv] 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.
   [bbe] And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.
35:4[kjv] 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.
   [bbe] Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.
35:5[kjv] 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.
   [bbe] So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.
35:6[kjv] So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
   [bbe] And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.
35:7[kjv] And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
   [bbe] And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.
35:8[kjv] But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
   [bbe] And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.
35:9[kjv] And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
   [bbe] Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,
35:10[kjv] And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
   [bbe] Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.
35:11[kjv] 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;
   [bbe] And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;
35:12[kjv] 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.
   [bbe] And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.
35:13[kjv] And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
   [bbe] Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.
35:14[kjv] 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.
   [bbe] And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.
35:15[kjv] And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
   [bbe] And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.
35:16[kjv] And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
   [bbe] So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.
35:17[kjv] And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
   [bbe] And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.
35:18[kjv] And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
   [bbe] And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.
35:19[kjv] And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
   [bbe] So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).
35:20[kjv] And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
   [bbe] And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.
35:21[kjv] And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
   [bbe] And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.
35:22[kjv] 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:
   [bbe] Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.
35:23[kjv] The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
   [bbe] Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;
35:24[kjv] The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
   [bbe] The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
35:25[kjv] And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
   [bbe] The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;
35:26[kjv] And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
   [bbe] The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.
35:27[kjv] And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
   [bbe] And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.
35:28[kjv] And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
   [bbe] And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.
35:29[kjv] 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.
   [bbe] Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
