Genesis 35
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Return to Bethel
35 God said to Jacob, ‘Get up! Go to Bethel and settle there.(A) Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.’(B)
2 So Jacob said to his family and all who were with him, ‘Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you.(C) Purify yourselves and change your clothes.(D) 3 We must get up and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to the God who answered me in my day of distress.(E) He has been with me everywhere I have gone.’(F)
4 Then they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and their earrings, and Jacob hid them under the oak near Shechem. 5 When they set out, a terror from God came over the cities around them, and they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.(G) 6 So Jacob and all who were with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel(H)) in the land of Canaan. 7 Jacob built an altar there and called the place El-bethel[a] because it was there that God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
8 Deborah, the one who had nursed and brought up Rebekah,[b](I) died and was buried under the oak south of Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.[c]
9 God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan-aram, and he blessed him. 10 God said to him, ‘Your name is Jacob; you will no longer be named Jacob, but your name will be Israel.’(J) So he named him Israel. 11 God also said to him, ‘I am God Almighty.(K) Be fruitful and multiply.(L) A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will come from you,(M) and kings will descend from you.[d](N) 12 I will give to you the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac.(O) And I will give the land to your future descendants.’ 13 Then God withdrew[e](P) from him at the place where he had spoken to him.
14 Jacob set up a marker at the place where he had spoken to him – a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.(Q) 15 Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
Rachel’s Death
16 They set out from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labour was difficult. 17 During her difficult labour, the midwife said to her, ‘Don’t be afraid, for you have another son.’(R) 18 With her last breath – for she was dying – she named him Ben-oni,[f] but his father called him Benjamin.[g] 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem(S)). 20 Jacob set up a marker on her grave; it is the marker at Rachel’s grave still today.
Israel’s Sons
21 Israel set out again and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.[h] 22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it.(T)
Jacob had twelve sons:(U)
23 Leah’s sons were Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn),
Simeon, Levi, Judah,
Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 Rachel’s sons were
Joseph and Benjamin.
25 The sons of Rachel’s slave Bilhah
were Dan and Naphtali.
26 The sons of Leah’s slave Zilpah
were Gad and Asher.
These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
Isaac’s Death
27 Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre(V) in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron(W)), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. 28 Isaac lived for 180 years. 29 He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people,(X) old and full of days. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Genesis 35
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ginbendisyunan sang Dios si Jacob sa Betel
35 Karon, nagsiling ang Dios kay Jacob, “Magpanghimos ka kag magkadto sa Betel kag didto mag-estar. Maghimo ka dayon didto sang halaran para sa akon, ang Dios nga nagpakita sa imo sang nagapalagyo ka pa sadto sa imo utod nga si Esau.”
2 Gani nagsiling si Jacob sa iya panimalay kag sa tanan niya nga kaupdanan, “Ipamilak ninyo ang inyo mga dios-dios. Magpakatinlo kamo kag mag-ilis sang bayo bilang simbolo sang bag-o kag matinlo nga kabuhi. 3 Dayon magkadto kita sa Betel; kag mahimo ako didto sang halaran para sa Dios nga nagbulig sa akon sang ara ako sa kalisod, kag nag-upod sa akon bisan diin ako nagkadto.” 4 Gani ginhatag nila kay Jacob ang ila mga dios-dios pati ang ila mga aritos nga ginagamit nila nga anting-anting. Ginlubong ini tanan ni Jacob sa idalom sang kahoy nga terebinto nga malapit sa Shekem. 5 Sang nagahalin na sanday Jacob, ginpahadlok sang Dios ang mga tawo sa palibot nga mga banwa, gani wala nila paglagsa sanday Jacob.
6 Nakaabot si Jacob kag ang iya mga kaupdanan sa Luz (nga ginatawag man nga Betel) didto sa Canaan. 7 Naghimo siya didto sang halaran. Gin-ngalanan niya ato nga lugar nga El Betel[a] kay nagpakita sa iya didto ang Dios sang nagapalagyo siya sa iya utod nga si Esau.
8 Karon, napatay si Debora nga manug-atipan ni Rebeka. Gani ginlubong siya sa idalom sang dako nga kahoy didto sa ubos sang Betel. Gintawag ato nga kahoy nga Allon Bacut.[b]
9 Sang nagapauli sadto si Jacob halin sa Padan Aram, nagpakita liwat ang Dios sa iya kag ginbendisyunan siya. 10 Nagsiling ang Dios sa iya, “Jacob ang imo ngalan, pero sugod subong indi ka na pagtawgon nga Jacob kundi Israel na.” Gani nangin Israel ang ngalan ni Jacob.
11 Nagsiling pa gid ang Dios sa iya, “Ako ang Makagagahom nga Dios. Magpamata ka sing madamo. Mangin amay ka sang isa ka nasyon kag sang madamo pa nga mga nasyon, kag mangin hari ang iban mo nga mga kaliwat. 12 Ang duta nga ginhatag ko kay Abraham kag kay Isaac ihatag ko man sa imo kag sa imo mga kaliwat.” 13-14 Dayon naghalin ang Dios sa sadto nga lugar nga sa diin nagpakigsugilanon siya kay Jacob, kag nagpatindog didto si Jacob sang handumanan nga bato. Ginbubuan niya dayon sang bino kag lana ang bato agod mangin sagrado. 15 Gin-ngalanan niya ato nga lugar nga Betel.[c]
Ang Pagkapatay ni Raquel
16 Karon, naghalin si Jacob kag ang iya panimalay sa Betel. Manugbata na sadto si Raquel. Sang malayo-layo pa sila sa banwa sang Efrata, ginsakitan si Raquel. 17 Sang puwerte na gid ang iya pagpasakit, nagsiling ang paltera sa iya, “Indi ka magkahadlok Raquel, lalaki naman ang imo bata.” 18 Natawo ang bata pero tagumatayon na si Raquel. Sang wala pa siya nabugtuan sang ginhawa, gin-ngalanan niya ang bata nga Ben Oni.[d] Pero gin-ngalanan ni Jacob ang bata nga Benjamin.[e] 19 Napatay si Raquel kag ginlubong siya sa higad sang dalan nga pakadto sa Efrata (nga ginatawag subong nga Betlehem). 20 Ginbutangan ni Jacob sang bato nga palatandaan ang lulubngan ni Raquel, kag hasta subong ara pa ini nga tanda sa lulubngan ni Raquel.
21 Nagpadayon sila ni Jacob[f] sa ila paglakat. Pag-abot nila sa pihak sang Migdal Eder,[g] nagpatindog sila didto sang ila mga tolda. 22 Samtang didto pa nagaestar si Jacob,[h] nagpakighilawas si Reuben kay Bilha nga isa sang mga asawa sang iya amay. Sang mahibaluan ato ni Jacob naakig gid siya.[i]
Ang mga Anak nga Lalaki ni Jacob(A)
May dose ka anak nga lalaki si Jacob. 23 Ang iya mga anak kay Lea amo sila ni Reuben, ang kamagulangan, dayon si Simeon, si Levi, si Juda, si Isacar, kag si Zebulun. 24 Ang iya mga anak kay Raquel amo si Jose kag si Benjamin. 25 Ang iya mga anak kay Bilha nga suluguon ni Raquel amo si Dan kag si Naftali. 26 Ang iya mga anak kay Zilpa nga suluguon ni Lea amo si Gad kag si Asher. Sila tanan ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Jacob nga natawo sa Padan Aram.
Ang Pagkapatay ni Isaac
27 Nagkadto si Jacob sa iya amay nga si Isaac sa Mamre, malapit sa Kiriat Arba (nga ginatawag man nga Hebron). Ang ini nga lugar nga ginaestaran ni Isaac amo man anay ang gin-estaran ni Abraham. 28 Nagkabuhi si Isaac sing 180 ka tuig. 29 Napatay siya nga tigulang na gid, kag ginsimpon siya sa iya mga paryente nga nagkalamatay na. Ginlubong siya sang iya mga anak nga si Esau kag si Jacob.

Genesis 35
New King James Version
Jacob’s Return to Bethel
35 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to (A)Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, (B)who appeared to you (C)when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
2 And Jacob said to his (D)household and to all who were with him, “Put away (E)the foreign gods that are among you, (F)purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, (G)who answered me in the day of my distress (H)and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign [a]gods which were in their hands, and the (I)earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under (J)the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
5 And they journeyed, and (K)the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to (L)Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 And he (M)built an altar there and called the place [b]El Bethel, because (N)there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Now (O)Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called [c]Allon Bachuth.
9 Then (P)God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and (Q)blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; (R)your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, (S)but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: (T)“I am God Almighty. (U)Be fruitful and multiply; (V)a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. 12 The (W)land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.” 13 Then God (X)went[d] up from him in the place where He talked with him. 14 So Jacob (Y)set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, (Z)Bethel.
Death of Rachel
16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. 17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; (AA)you will have this son also.” 18 And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name [e]Ben-Oni; but his father called him [f]Benjamin. 19 So (AB)Rachel died and was buried on the way to (AC)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave (AD)to this day.
21 Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond (AE)the tower of Eder. 22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and (AF)lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it.
Jacob’s Twelve Sons
Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23 the sons of Leah were (AG)Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; 24 the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin; 25 the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali; 26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
Death of Isaac
27 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at (AH)Mamre, or (AI)Kirjath Arba[g] (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt. 28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years. 29 So Isaac breathed his last and died, and (AJ)was [h]gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And (AK)his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
