Genesis 35:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 35:5

3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, ^awho answered me in the day of my distress ^band has been with me in the way which I have gone.”

4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign¹ gods which were in their hands, and the ^aearrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under ^bthe terebinth tree which was by Shechem.

5 And they journeyed, and ^athe terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 So Jacob came to ^aLuz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7 And he ^abuilt an altar there and called the place¹ El Bethel, because ^bthere God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 Now ^aDeborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called¹ Allon Bachuth.

9 Then ^aGod appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and ^bblessed him.
