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.
