Genesis 35 Chapter Summary: God Commands Jacob to Travel to Bethel to Build an Altar
In Genesis Chapter 35, Jacob seeks counsel from God and travels with his family to Bethel under God's protection. He instructs them to change their clothes and gather all their idols, which he then hides.
God appears to Jacob, blesses him, and changes his name to Israel, promising him kings and the land of Abraham and Isaac. Israel builds a stone pillar and pours wine and oil on it, naming the place Bethel.
Rachel dies while giving birth to Benjamin, and Israel buries her in Bethlehem. This tells us that Jacob followed God's instructions to go back to Bethel and construct an altar, and he gave his family the instruction to remove their pagan idols and purify themselves.
It's important to obey God's instructions and live a holy and pure life.
