034:027 Jacob's sons came on the dead, and plundered the city,
because they had defiled their sister.
034:028 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which
was in the city, that which was in the field,
034:029 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones
and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was
in the house.
034:030 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me,
to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land,
among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number.
They will gather themselves together against me and strike me,
and I will be destroyed, I and my house."
034:031 They said, "Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"
035:001 God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there.
Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled
from the face of Esau your brother."
035:002 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him,
"Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves,
change your garments.
035:003 Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there
an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress,
and was with me in the way which I went."
035:004 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands,
and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them
under the oak which was by Shechem.
035:005 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were
around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.
035:006 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land
of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
035:007 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El;
because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from
the face of his brother.
035:008 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel
under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon Bacuth.
035:009 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram,
and blessed him.
035:010 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall
not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel."
He named him Israel.
035:011 God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply.
A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings
will come out of your body.
035:012 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you,
and to your seed after you will I give the land."
035:013 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
035:014 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him,
a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it,
and poured oil on it.
035:015 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."
035:016 They traveled from Bethel.
