Genesis 35

1. Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to  God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."

2. So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.

3. Then come, let us go up to bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone."

4. So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.

5. Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.

6. Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of CAnaan.

7. There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel, because it was there that God revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

8. Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So it was named Allon Bacuth.

9. After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him angin and blessed him.

10. God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you wil no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel. "  So he named him Israel.

11. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body.

12. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you and I will give this land to your descendants after you."

13. Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.

14. Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.

15. Jacoh called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.

Then they moved on from Bethel, While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.

17. And as she was having great dificulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid,for you have another son."

18. As she breathed her last-for she was dying-she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.

19. So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20. Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day that pillar marks Rachel's tomb.

21. Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

22. While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went inand slept with his father's concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it. Jacob had twelve sons;

23. The sons of Leah; Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.

24. The sons of Rachel; Josep and Benjamin.

25. The sons of Rachel's maidservant Bilhah; Dan and Naphtali.

26. The sons of Leah's maidervant Zilpah; Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob, who were botn to him in PaddanAram.

27. Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed .

28. Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.

29. 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.

14: 야곱이 하나님의 자기와 말씀하시던 곳에....15: 하나님이 자기와 말씀하시던 곳의 이름을 벧엘이라 불렀더라... 하나님이 내게 말씀하시던 곳은 시간적으로 공간적으로 어디였을까 곰곰 생각해 봅니다
