Jacob Returns to Bethel

Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”Gen 28:13

So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments. Gen 31:19; Eph 4:22; Col 3:9Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”

So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.Jos 24:26; Jdg 9:6

As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons. Exo 23:27; 1Sa 14:15So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan. Gen 12:8; Gen 28:19There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.Gen 28:13

Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.1Ch 10:12

After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him. And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.Gen 32:28

And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation — even a company of nations — shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you. Gen 1:28; Gen 17:1; Gen 17:6The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”Gen 12:7

Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.Gen 17:22

So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him— a stone marker— and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil. Gen 28:18Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.Gen 28:19

Benjamin Born, Rachel Dies

Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult. During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”1Sa 4:20

And with her last breath— for she was dying— she named vvv him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). Gen 48:7Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.1Sa 10:2

The Sons of Jacob

Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder. Mic 4:8While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it.

Jacob had twelve sons:Gen 49:4

The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.Gen 46:8; Exo 1:2
The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.Gen 30:23
The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.Gen 30:5
And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher.

These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.Gen 30:9

The Death of Isaac

Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.Gen 23:2; Gen 14:13

And Isaac lived 180 years. Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.Gen 25:9
