Jacob Returns to Bethel
Ge 35:1 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethela and settle there, and build an altarb there to God,c who appeared to youd when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”e
Ge 35:2 So Jacob said to his householdf and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign godsg you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.h 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God,i who answered me in the day of my distressj and who has been with me wherever I have gone.k” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears,l and Jacob buried them under the oakm at Shechem.n 5 Then they set out, and the terror of Godo fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.p
Ge 35:6 Jacob and all the people with him came to Luzq (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.r 7 There he built an altar,s and he called the place El Bethel,1t because it was there that God revealed himself to himu when he was fleeing from his brother.v
Ge 35:8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse,w died and was buried under the oakx below Bethel.y So it was named Allon Bacuth.2
Ge 35:9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,3z God appeared to him again and blessed him.a 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,4 but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.5 ’”b So he named him Israel.
Ge 35:11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty6;c be fruitful and increase in number.d A natione and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.f 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.g”h 13 Then God went up from himi at the place where he had talked with him.
Ge 35:14 Jacob set up a stone pillarj at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offeringk on it; he also poured oil on it.l 15 Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.7m
