Genesis
Chapter
35
1
And 'Elohiym/Godhead said unto Jacob {Israel},
"Arise,
go up to Bethel, and dwell in prosperity there.
And
make there an altar unto 'Elohiym/Godhead,
Who
appeared to you
when
you fled from the face of Esau your brother."
2-3
Then Jacob {Israel} said unto his household,
and
to all that were with him,
"Put
away the strange 'elohiym/gods
that
are among you,
and
make yourself clean
{spiritual cleanliness in view here - use rebound},
and
change your garments.
{physical cleanliness now} 3
And
let us arise, and go up to Bethel.
And
I will make there an altar unto 'Elohiym/Godhead,
Who
answered me in the day of my distress,
and
was with me in the way which I went."
4
And they gave unto Jacob {Israel}
all
the strange 'elohiym/gods
which
were in their hand,
and
all their earrings which were in their ears.
And Jacob {Israel} hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5
And they journeyed.
And
the terror/fear of 'Elohiym/Godhead
was
upon the cities that were round about them,
and
they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob {Israel}.
6
So Jacob {Israel} came to Luz,
which
is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel,
he
and all the people who were with him.
7
And he built there an altar,
and
called the place El-Beth-El
{name means 'God of the House of God'}.
Because
there 'Elohiym/Godhead appeared unto him,
when
he fled from the face of his brother.
8
But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died,
and
she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak.
And
the name of it was called Allon-Bachuth
{name means 'oak of weeping'}.
9
And 'Elohiym/Godhead appeared unto Jacob {Israel} again,
when
he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10
And 'Elohiym/Godhead said unto him,
your
name is Jacob.
Your
name shall not be called any more Jacob,
but
Israel shall be your name.
And He called his name Israel.
11-12
And 'Elohiym/Godhead said unto him,
"I
am " 'El Shadday"/ "God Almighty".
Be fruitful and multiply.
A nation and a company of nations shall be of you.
And kings shall come out of your loins.12
And
the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac . . .
to
you I will give it,
and
to your seed after you
will
I give the land.
13
And 'Elohiym/Godhead went up from him
in
the place where he talked with him.
14
And Jacob {Israel} 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.
15
And Jacob {Israel} called the name of the place
where
'Elohiym/Godhead spoke with him, Beth-El
{name means 'house of God'}.
16 And they journeyed from Beth-El.
And there was but a little way to come to Ephrath.
And
Rachel was in child birth . . .
and
she had hard labor.
17
And it came to pass,
when
she was in hard labor,
that
the midwife said unto her,
"Fear
not; you shall have this son also."
{Verse
18: Jacob/Israel's Twelfth boy (1 girl) - Benjamin (Mother - Rachel (2nd)}
18
And it came to pass,
as
her soul was in departing (for she died)
that
she called his name Ben-Oni {name means 'son of my sorrow'}.
But
his father called him Benjamin
{name means 'son of the right hand' (the hand of honor)}.
19
And Rachel died,
and
was buried on the way to Ephrath,
which
is Bethlehem
{Beyth Lechem - name means 'house of bread'}.
20 And Jacob {Israel} set a pillar upon her grave.
That is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
21
And Israel journeyed,
and
spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
22-23
And it came to pass,
when
Israel {Jacob} 'dwelt permanently' {shakan}
in
that land,
that
Reuben went
and
had sexual relations with Bilhah, his father's concubine.
And Israel {Jacob} heard it.
Now
the sons of Jacob {Israel} were twelve: 23
The
sons of Leah;
Reuben,
Jacob {Israel}'s firstborn,
and
Simeon,
and
Levi,
and
Judah,
and
Issachar,
and
Zebulun.
24
The sons of Rachel:
Joseph,
and
Benjamin.
25
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid:
Dan,
and
Naphtali.
26
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid:
Gad,
and
Asher.
These
are the sons of Jacob {Israel},
which
were born to him in Padanaram.
27
And Jacob {Israel} came unto Isaac, his father, unto Mamre,
unto
the city of Arbah, which is Hebron,
where
Abraham and Isaac
sojourned/'lived
as a stranger passing through'.
28
And the days of Isaac
were
an hundred and fourscore years {180 years}.
29
And Isaac 'breathed his last breath' {gava`}, and died,
and
was gathered unto his people,
being
old and full of days.
And his sons Esau and Jacob {Israel} buried him.
