RF GEN 35:1 GOD afterwards said to Jacob "Arise; go to Beth-el and reside, and make an altar there to the GOD who appeared to you in your flight from your brother Esau."
RF GEN 35:2 Jacob Destroys the Idols of his Family and Servants.
So Jacob said to his family, and all who were with him; "Throw away the strange GODs which are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothing,
RF GEN 35:3 and let us be rising; and we will go to Bethel; and I will there build an Altar to the GOD who pitied me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the journey that I went."
RF GEN 35:4 They, therefore, gave to Jacob all the strange GODs which were in their hands, and the earrings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak which was near Shekhem.
RF GEN 35:5 Then they marched, and a terror from GOD was upon their neighbors, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
RF GEN 35:6 So Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (it is Beth-el), and his people with him.
RF GEN 35:7 He also built an altar there, and called the HOUSE of GOD, Bethel,1 for there GOD appeared to him in his flight from the presence of his brother.
RF GEN 35:8 But Deborah the nurse of Rebekka died, and he buried her between Beth-el and Alon, and called the name of the place "The Oak of weeping."
RF GEN 35:9 Another Divine Appearance to Jacob, and Promises.
GOD also appeared another time to Jacob, on his return from Padan Aram, and spoke with him,
RF GEN 35:10 when GOD said "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, for Israel shall be your name;" so He called his name Israel;
RF GEN 35:11 and GOD said to him, "I am the ALMIGHTY GOD. Be fruitful and multiply. A Nation and an Assembly of Nations shall come from you, and Kings shall proceed from your loins;
RF GEN 35:12 and the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and the same land I will give to you and your race after you."
RF GEN 35:13 Then the Divine Messenger went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
RF GEN 35:14 So Jacob erected a pillar at the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, and poured a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
RF GEN 35:15 Jacob also called the name of that place where GOD spoke with him GOD'S HOUSE.2
RF GEN 35:16 He afterwards marched from there, and had gone some distance into the country towards Ephrathah, when Rachel was taken in labour, and the childing went hard with her;
RF GEN 35:17 but when she was delivered with hard labour, the midwives said to her, "Be not down-hearted, for this child is a son."
