Genesis 35:28 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then God said to Jacob, "Get ready and move to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother, Esau."
2 So Jacob told everyone in his household, "Get rid of all your pagan idols, purify yourselves, and put on clean clothing.
3 We are now going to Bethel, where I will build an altar to the God who answered my prayers when I was in distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone."
4 So they gave Jacob all their pagan idols and earrings, and he buried them under the great tree near Shechem.
5 As they set out, a terror from God spread over the people in all the towns of that area, so no one attacked Jacob's family.
6 Eventually, Jacob and his household arrived at Luz (also called Bethel) in Canaan.
7 Jacob built an altar there and named the place El-bethel (which means "God of Bethel"), because God had appeared to him there when he was fleeing from his brother, Esau.
8 Soon after this, Rebekah's old nurse, Deborah, died. She was buried beneath the oak tree in the valley below Bethel. Ever since, the tree has been called Allon-bacuth (which means "oak of weeping").
9 Now that Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again at Bethel. God blessed him,
10 saying, "Your name is Jacob, but you will not be called Jacob any longer. From now on your name will be Israel." So God renamed him Israel.
11 Then God said, "I am El-Shaddai-- 'God Almighty.' Be fruitful and multiply. You will become a great nation, even many nations. Kings will be among your descendants!
12 And I will give you the land I once gave to Abraham and Isaac. Yes, I will give it to you and your descendants after you."
13 Then God went up from the place where he had spoken to Jacob.
14 Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark the place where God had spoken to him. Then he poured wine over it as an offering to God and anointed the pillar with olive oil.
15 And Jacob named the place Bethel (which means "house of God"), because God had spoken to him there.
16 Leaving Bethel, Jacob and his clan moved on toward Ephrath. But Rachel went into labor while they were still some distance away. Her labor pains were intense.
17 After a very hard delivery, the midwife finally exclaimed, "Don't be afraid-- you have another son!"
18 Rachel was about to die, but with her last breath she named the baby Ben-oni (which means "son of my sorrow"). The baby's father, however, called him Benjamin (which means "son of my right hand").
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
20 Jacob set up a stone monument over Rachel's grave, and it can be seen there to this day.
21 Then Jacob traveled on and camped beyond Migdal-eder.
22 While he was living there, Reuben had intercourse with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Jacob soon heard about it.These are the names of the twelve sons of Jacob:
23 The sons of Leah were Reuben (Jacob's oldest son), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant, were Gad and Asher. These are the names of the sons who were born to Jacob at Paddan-aram.
27 So Jacob returned to his father, Isaac, in Mamre, which is near Kiriath-arba (now called Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had both lived as foreigners.
28 Isaac lived for 180 years.
29 Then he breathed his last and died at a ripe old age, joining his ancestors in death. And his sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
1 And God H430 said H559 unto H413 Jacob, H3290 Arise, H6965 go up H5927 to Bethel, H1008 and dwell H3427 there: H8033 and make H6213 there H8033 an altar H4196 unto God, H410 that appeared H7200 unto H413 thee when thou fleddest H1272 from the face H4480 H6440 of Esau H6215 thy brother. H251
2 Then Jacob H3290 said H559 unto H413 his household, H1004 and to H413 all H3605 that H834 were with H5973 him , Put away H5493 H853 the strange H5236 gods H430 that H834 are among H8432 you , and be clean, H2891 and change H2498 your garments: H8071
3 And let us arise, H6965 and go up H5927 to Bethel; H1008 and I will make H6213 there H8033 an altar H4196 unto God, H410 who answered H6030 me in the day H3117 of my distress, H6869 and was H1961 with H5973 me in the way H1870 which H834 I went. H1980
4 And they gave H5414 unto H413 Jacob H3290 H853 all H3605 the strange H5236 gods H430 which H834 were in their hand, H3027 and all their earrings H5141 which H834 were in their ears; H241 and Jacob H3290 hid H2934 them under H8478 the oak H424 which H834 was by H5973 Shechem. H7927
5 And they journeyed: H5265 and the terror H2847 of God H430 was H1961 upon H5921 the cities H5892 that H834 were round about H5439 them , and they did not H3808 pursue H7291 after H310 the sons H1121 of Jacob. H3290
6 So Jacob H3290 came H935 to Luz, H3870 which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 that H1931 is , Bethel, H1008 he H1931 and all H3605 the people H5971 that H834 were with H5973 him.
7 And he built H1129 there H8033 an altar, H4196 and called H7121 the place H4725 El- H416 bethel: because H3588 there H8033 God H430 appeared H1540 unto H413 him , when he fled H1272 from the face H4480 H6440 of his brother. H251
8 But Deborah H1683 Rebekah's H7259 nurse H3243 died, H4191 and she was buried H6912 beneath H4480 H8478 Bethel H1008 under H8478 an oak: H437 and the name H8034 of it was called H7121 Allon- H439 bachuth.
9 And God H430 appeared H7200 unto H413 Jacob H3290 again, H5750 when he came H935 out of Padan H4480 H6307 -aram , and blessed H1288 him.
10 And God H430 said H559 unto him , Thy name H8034 is Jacob: H3290 thy name H8034 shall not H3808 be called H7121 any more H5750 Jacob, H3290 but H3588 H518 Israel H3478 shall be H1961 thy name: H8034 and he called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Israel. H3478
11 And God H430 said H559 unto him, I H589 am God H410 Almighty: H7706 be fruitful H6509 and multiply; H7235 a nation H1471 and a company H6951 of nations H1471 shall be H1961 of H4480 thee , and kings H4428 shall come out H3318 of thy loins H4480 H2504 ;
12 And the land H776 which H834 I gave H5414 Abraham H85 and Isaac, H3327 to thee I will give H5414 it , and to thy seed H2233 after H310 thee will I give H5414 H853 the land. H776
13 And God H430 went up H5927 from H4480 H5921 him in the place H4725 where H834 he talked H1696 with H854 him.
14 And Jacob H3290 set up H5324 a pillar H4676 in the place H4725 where H834 he talked H1696 with H854 him, even a pillar H4678 of stone: H68 and he poured H5258 a drink offering H5262 thereon, H5921 and he poured H3332 oil H8081 thereon. H5921
15 And Jacob H3290 called H7121 H853 the name H8034 of the place H4725 where H834 God H430 spoke H1696 with H854 him, Bethel. H1008
16 And they journeyed H5265 from Bethel H4480 H1008 ; and there was H1961 but H5750 a little way H3530 H776 to come H935 to Ephrath: H672 and Rachel H7354 travailed, H3205 and she had hard H7185 labor. H3205
17 And it came to pass, H1961 when she was in hard H7185 labor, H3205 that the midwife H3205 said H559 unto her, Fear H3372 not; H408 thou shalt have this H2088 son H1121 also. H1571
18 And it came to pass, H1961 as her soul H5315 was in departing, H3318 ( for H3588 she died H4191 ) that she called H7121 his name H8034 Ben- H1126 oni : but his father H1 called H7121 him Benjamin. H1144
19 And Rachel H7354 died, H4191 and was buried H6912 in the way H1870 to Ephrath, H672 which H1931 is Bethlehem. H1035
20 And Jacob H3290 set H5324 a pillar H4676 upon H5921 her grave: H6900 that H1931 is the pillar H4678 of Rachel's H7354 grave H6900 unto H5704 this day. H3117
21 And Israel H3478 journeyed, H5265 and spread H5186 his tent H168 beyond H4480 H1973 the tower H4026 of Edar. H4029
22 And it came to pass, H1961 when Israel H3478 dwelt H7931 in that H1931 land, H776 that Reuben H7205 went H1980 and lay with H7901 H853 Bilhah H1090 his father's H1 concubine: H6370 and Israel H3478 heard H8085 it . Now the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290 were H1961 twelve H8147 H6240 :
23 The sons H1121 of Leah; H3812 Reuben, H7205 Jacob's H3290 firstborn, H1060 and Simeon, H8095 and Levi, H3878 and Judah, H3063 and Issachar, H3485 and Zebulun: H2074
24 The sons H1121 of Rachel; H7354 Joseph, H3130 and Benjamin: H1144
25 And the sons H1121 of Bilhah, H1090 Rachel's H7354 handmaid; H8198 Dan, H1835 and Naphtali: H5321
26 And the sons H1121 of Zilpah, H2153 Leah's H3812 handmaid; H8198 Gad, H1410 and Asher: H836 these H428 are the sons H1121 of Jacob, H3290 which H834 were born H3205 to him in Padan- H6307 aram.
27 And Jacob H3290 came H935 unto H413 Isaac H3327 his father H1 unto Mamre, H4471 unto the city of Arbah, H7153 which H1931 is Hebron, H2275 where H834 H8033 Abraham H85 and Isaac H3327 sojourned. H1481
28 And the days H3117 of Isaac H3327 were H1961 a hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 years. H8141
29 And Isaac H3327 gave up the ghost, H1478 and died, H4191 and was gathered H622 unto H413 his people, H5971 being old H2205 and full H7649 of days: H3117 and his sons H1121 Esau H6215 and Jacob H3290 buried H6912 him.
