Genesis 35

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.” (Ge 27:43; Ge 28:19) 2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments. (Ge 18:19; Ge 31:19; Ex 19:10; Jos 24:15; Jos 24:23; 1Sa 7:3) 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God who answers me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone.” (Ge 28:20; Ge 31:3; Ge 32:7; Ge 32:24) 4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree that was near Shechem. (Jos 24:26; Jud 9:6) 5 And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him, (Ge 28:19) 7 and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel,[1] because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother. (Ge 35:1) 8 And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel. So he called its name Allon-bacuth.[2] (Ge 24:59) 9 God appeared[3] to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. (Ge 17:5; Ge 17:15; Ge 32:28) 11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty:[4] be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.[5] (Ge 17:1; Ge 17:5; Ge 17:6; Ge 17:16; Ge 26:4; Ge 28:3; Ge 48:4) 12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.” (Ge 12:7; Ge 13:15; Ge 17:8; Ge 26:3; Ge 28:13) 13 Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. (Ge 17:22) 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. (Ge 28:18; Ge 31:45) 15 So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel. (Ge 28:19) 16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance[6] from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor. 17 And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.” (Ge 30:24) 18 And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;[7] but his father called him Benjamin.[8] (Lu 1:59; Lu 1:60) 19 So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem), (Ge 48:7; Ru 1:2; Ru 4:11; Mic 5:2; Mt 2:6; Mt 2:16) 20 and Jacob set up a pillar over her tomb. It is the pillar of Rachel’s tomb, which is there to this day. (1Sa 10:2; 2Sa 18:18) 21 Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder. 22 While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine. And Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. (Ge 49:4; 2Sa 16:22; 2Sa 20:3; 1Ch 5:1; 1Co 5:1) 23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. (Ge 46:8; Ex 1:2) 24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s servant: Dan and Naphtali. 26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram. 27 And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. (Ge 13:18; Ge 23:2; Ge 23:19; Jos 14:15; Jos 15:13) 28 Now the days of Isaac were 180 years. 29 And Isaac breathed his last, and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. (Ge 15:15; Ge 25:8; Ge 25:9; Ge 49:31)

Genesis 35

Louis Segond 1910

1 Dieu dit à Jacob: Lève-toi, monte à Béthel, et demeures-y; là, tu dresseras un autel au Dieu qui t'apparut, lorsque tu fuyais Ésaü, ton frère. 2 Jacob dit à sa maison et à tous ceux qui étaient avec lui: Otez les dieux étrangers qui sont au milieu de vous, purifiez-vous, et changez de vêtements. 3 Nous nous lèverons, et nous monterons à Béthel; là, je dresserai un autel au Dieu qui m'a exaucé dans le jour de ma détresse, et qui a été avec moi pendant le voyage que j'ai fait. 4 Ils donnèrent à Jacob tous les dieux étrangers qui étaient entre leurs mains, et les anneaux qui étaient à leurs oreilles. Jacob les enfouit sous le térébinthe qui est près de Sichem. 5 Ensuite ils partirent. La terreur de Dieu se répandit sur les villes qui les entouraient, et l'on ne poursuivit point les fils de Jacob. 6 Jacob arriva, lui et tous ceux qui étaient avec lui, à Luz, qui est Béthel, dans le pays de Canaan. 7 Il bâtit là un autel, et il appela ce lieu El Béthel; car c'est là que Dieu s'était révélé à lui lorsqu'il fuyait son frère. 8 Débora, nourrice de Rebecca, mourut; et elle fut enterrée au-dessous de Béthel, sous le chêne auquel on a donné le nom de chêne des pleurs. 9 Dieu apparut encore à Jacob, après son retour de Paddan Aram, et il le bénit. 10 Dieu lui dit: Ton nom est Jacob; tu ne seras plus appelé Jacob, mais ton nom sera Israël. Et il lui donna le nom d'Israël. 11 Dieu lui dit: Je suis le Dieu tout puissant. Sois fécond, et multiplie: une nation et une multitude de nations naîtront de toi, et des rois sortiront de tes reins. 12 Je te donnerai le pays que j'ai donné à Abraham et à Isaac, et je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi. 13 Dieu s'éleva au-dessus de lui, dans le lieu où il lui avait parlé. 14 Et Jacob dressa un monument dans le lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé, un monument de pierres, sur lequel il fit une libation et versa de l'huile. 15 Jacob donna le nom de Béthel au lieu où Dieu lui avait parlé. 16 Ils partirent de Béthel; et il y avait encore une certaine distance jusqu'à Éphrata, lorsque Rachel accoucha. Elle eut un accouchement pénible; 17 et pendant les douleurs de l'enfantement, la sage-femme lui dit: Ne crains point, car tu as encore un fils! 18 Et comme elle allait rendre l'âme, car elle était mourante, elle lui donna le nom de Ben Oni; mais le père l'appela Benjamin. 19 Rachel mourut, et elle fut enterrée sur le chemin d'Éphrata, qui est Bethléhem. 20 Jacob éleva un monument sur son sépulcre; c'est le monument du sépulcre de Rachel, qui existe encore aujourd'hui. 21 Israël partit; et il dressa sa tente au delà de Migdal Éder. 22 Pendant qu'Israël habitait cette contrée, Ruben alla coucher avec Bilha, concubine de son père. Et Israël l'apprit. Les fils de Jacob étaient au nombre de douze. 23 Fils de Léa: Ruben, premier-né de Jacob, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar et Zabulon. 24 Fils de Rachel: Joseph et Benjamin. 25 Fils de Bilha, servante de Rachel: Dan et Nephthali. 26 Fils de Zilpa, servante de Léa: Gad et Aser. Ce sont là les fils de Jacob, qui lui naquirent à Paddan Aram. 27 Jacob arriva auprès d'Isaac, son père, à Mamré, à Kirjath Arba, qui est Hébron, où avaient séjourné Abraham et Isaac. 28 Les jours d'Isaac furent de cent quatre-vingts ans. 29 Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple, âgé et rassasié de jours, et Ésaü et Jacob, ses fils, l'enterrèrent.
