Genesis 35
King James Version
35 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, 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 all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God 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 Allonbachuth.
9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14 And Jacob 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 called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob 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 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob'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, which were born to him in Padanaram.
27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Binasbasan ng Diyos si Jacob sa Bethel
35 Sinabi(A) ng Diyos kay Jacob, “Pumunta ka sa Bethel at doon ka manirahan. Ipagtayo mo roon ng altar ang Diyos na nagpakita sa iyo noong tumatakas ka sa iyong kapatid na si Esau.”
2 Kaya't sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang sambahayan at sa lahat ng kasama niya, “Itapon ninyong lahat ang diyus-diyosang taglay ninyo, maglinis kayo ng inyong katawan, at magbihis kayo. 3 Aalis tayo rito at pupunta sa Bethel. Magtatayo ako roon ng altar para sa Diyos na kasama ko saanman at laging tumutulong sa akin sa panahon ng kagipitan.” 4 Ibinigay nila kay Jacob ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan at ang suot nilang mga hikaw. Ang lahat ng ito'y ibinaon ni Jacob sa tabi ng malaking punong malapit sa Shekem.
5 Ang mga tao sa mga karatig-bayan ay natakot kay Jacob at sa kanyang mga anak na lalaki, kaya't walang nangahas humabol sa kanila nang sila'y umalis. 6 Nang dumating sila sa Luz, sa lupain ng Canaan, 7 gumawa siya ng altar at tinawag niyang El-Bethel[a] ang lugar na iyon, sapagkat doon nagpakita sa kanya ang Diyos nang siya'y tumakas mula sa kanyang kapatid. 8 Namatay si Debora, ang nag-alaga kay Rebeca, at inilibing sa tabi ng malaking puno sa gawing timog ng Bethel. At ang dakong iyo'y tinawag na “Roble ng Pagluha.”
9 Pagbalik ni Jacob mula sa Mesopotamia, muling nagpakita sa kanya ang Diyos at siya'y binasbasan, 10 “Jacob(B) ang pangalan mo, ngunit mula ngayon, Israel na ang itatawag sa iyo.” 11 Sinabi(C) pa sa kanya, “Ako ang Makapangyarihang Diyos; magkakaroon ka ng maraming anak. Darami ang iyong mga lahi at sa kanila'y may mga magiging hari. Magmumula sa lahi mo ang maraming bansa. 12 Ang mga lupaing aking ipinangako kay Abraham at kay Isaac ay ibibigay ko sa iyo at sa iyong mga anak.” 13 At iniwan siya ng Diyos. 14 Naglagay(D) si Jacob ng batong palatandaan sa lugar na pinagtagpuan nila. Binuhusan niya ito ng langis at alak bilang tanda na ito'y ukol sa Diyos. 15 Tinawag niyang Bethel ang lugar na iyon.
Namatay si Raquel
16 Umalis sila sa Bethel. Nang sila'y malapit na sa Efrata, naramdaman ni Raquel na manganganak na siya at napakatindi ng kanyang hirap. 17 Sinabi sa kanya ng hilot, “Huwag kang matakot, lalaki na naman ang isisilang mo.” 18 Nasa bingit na siya ng kamatayan, at bago siya nalagutan ng hininga, ang sanggol ay tinawag niyang Benoni,[b] ngunit Benjamin[c] naman ang ipinangalan ni Jacob.
19 Namatay si Raquel at inilibing sa tabi ng daang patungo sa Efrata na ngayon ay Bethlehem. 20 Ang puntod ay nilagyan ni Jacob ng batong pananda at hanggang ngayo'y makikita pa rin ang panandang iyon sa puntod ni Raquel. 21 Nagpatuloy ng paglalakbay si Israel at nagkampo sa kabilang panig ng tore ng Eder.
Ang mga Anak ni Jacob(E)
22 Samantalang(F) sina Israel ay nasa lupaing iyon, sumiping si Ruben kay Bilha na isa sa mga asawang-lingkod ng kanyang ama. Nalaman ito ni Israel.
Labindalawa ang mga anak na lalaki ni Jacob: 23 kay Lea, ang naging anak niya'y sina Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isacar at Zebulun; 24 kay Raquel, si Jose at si Benjamin; 25 kay Bilha na alipin ni Raquel, si Dan at si Neftali; 26 kay Zilpa naman na alipin ni Lea, ang naging anak niya'y sina Gad at Asher. Sa Mesopotamia ipinanganak ang lahat ng ito.
Namatay si Isaac
27 Dumalaw(G) si Jacob sa kanyang amang si Isaac sa Mamre, na tinatawag ding Lunsod ng Arba o Hebron. Dito rin tumira si Abraham. 28 Si Isaac ay 180 taon 29 nang mamatay at mamahinga sa piling ng kanyang mga ninuno. Siya'y inilibing nina Esau at Jacob.
