Genesis 35:22

20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave ^ato this day.

21 Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond ^athe tower of Eder.

22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and ^alay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

Jacob’s Twelve Sons

23 the sons of Leah were ^aReuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;

24 the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;

25 the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali;

26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.

Death of Isaac

27 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at ^aMamre, or ^bKirjath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.

28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Genesis 35:21

Genesis 35:23 >>

When Israel dwelt in that land - As if he were then absent from his family, which might be the unhappy occasion of these disorders. Though perhaps Bilhah was the greater criminal, yet Reuben's crime was so provoking that for it he lost his birth - right and blessing, Genesis 49:4. And Israel heard it - No more is said, that is enough; he heard it with the utmost grief and shame, horror and displeasure.
