Part 37

01:034:026 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

01:034:027 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.

01:034:028 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,

01:034:029 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.

01:034:030 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

01:034:031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?

01:035:001 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.

01:035:002 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:

01:035:003 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.

01:035:004 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.

01:035:005 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.

01:035:006 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

01:035:007 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.

01:035:008 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

01:035:009 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

01:035:010 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.

01:035:011 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;

01:035:012 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.

01:035:013 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

01:035:014 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.

01:035:015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

01:035:016 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

01:035:017 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.

01:035:018 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.

01:035:019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

01:035:020 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

01:035:021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

01:035:022 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:
