Genesis 35

35:1And God said to Jacob, Rising up, ascend unto the place Beth-el! And live there, and make there an altar to God! to the one appearing to you in the running away from the face of Esau your brother.

35:2And Jacob said to his house, and to all the ones with him, Take away the alien gods from your midst, and cleanse and change your robes!

35:3And rising up, let us ascend unto Beth-el, and let us make there an altar to God! to the one taking heed of me in the day of affliction, who was with me, and preserved me in the way which I went.

35:4And they gave to Jacob the alien gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings in their ears. And Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree, the one in Shechem. And he destroyed them unto today's day.

35:5And Israel lifted away from Shechem. And there was a fear of God upon the cities round about them. And they did not pursue after the sons of Israel.

35:6And Jacob came into Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, which is Beth-el, he and all the people who were with him.

35:7And he built there an altar, and he called the name of the place, Beth-el, for there God appeared to him in his running away from the face of Esau his brother.

35:10And God said to him, Your name shall not be called any longer Jacob, but Israel will be your name. And he called his name Israel.

35:11And God said to him, I am your God. Grow and multiply! Nations and gatherings of nations will be from you, and kings shall come forth from your loin.

35:12And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, I give it to you. And to your seed after you I shall give this land.

35:13And God ascended from him, from the place where he spoke with him.

35:15And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him there, Beth-el.

35:16And Jacob departed from Beth-el, and he pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader. And it came to pass when he approached Chabratha, to come into Ephrath, Rachel bore. And in the giving birth she suffered birth pangs.

35:17And it came to pass in her harshly bearing, the midwife said to her, Be of courage! for also this is a son to you.
