Genesis 35

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

God told Jacob to get up, go to Bethel, and live there. He should also build an altar for God who helped him when he ran away from his brother, Esau.

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

Then Jacob told his family and everyone around them, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have, clean yourselves up, and put on new clothes."

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

Let's get up and go to Bethel. I'll build an altar to God there, who helped me when I needed him and stayed with me on my journey.

And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

They handed Jacob all the foreign gods they had and their earrings, and he hid them under a special tree near Shechem.

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

They traveled, and God's fear surrounded the nearby cities, so they didn't chase after Jacob's children.

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

Jacob went to a place called Luz, located in Canaan (also known as Bethel), along with everyone who was with him.

And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

He constructed an altar at that location and named it Elbethel. This was because God appeared to him while he was running away from his brother.

But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

God appeared to Jacob once more after he left Padanaram and blessed him.

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

"And God told him, 'Your name is Jacob; you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.' So, he named himself Israel."

And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

And God told him, "I am the all-powerful God. Multiply and have many children. You will create a big group of people and many countries will come from you. Powerful kings will also come from your family."

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

I'll give you the land that I promised to Abraham and Isaac. I'll also give this land to your children after you.

And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

And God left him in the place where they had their conversation.

And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

Jacob put up a stone pillar at the spot where he spoke with God. He poured a drink offering on it and also poured oil.

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

Jacob named the place where God talked to him "Bethel."

And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.

They left Bethel and went towards Ephrath. It wasn't far, but Rachel struggled during her difficult childbirth.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

When she was having a difficult time giving birth, the midwife told her, "Don't worry, you will also have this boy."

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

As she was about to die, she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

Rachel passed away and was buried along the road to Ephrath, now called Bethlehem.

And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.

Jacob put up a marker on Rachel's grave, which has stayed there ever since.

And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

One day, when Israel lived in that land, Reuben did a bad thing by sleeping with his dad's servant girl, Bilhah. All the brothers of Reuben were 12 in total, and their dad, Jacob, found out about it.

The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:

Leah's children: Reuben (Jacob's oldest), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:

Rachel's children: Joseph and Benjamin.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:

And Rachel's helper's children; Dan and Naphtali:

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.

The sons of Leah's servant, named Zilpah, were Gad and Asher. They were part of Jacob's children, born to him while he was in a place called Padanaram.

And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

Jacob went to his dad, Isaac, at a place called Mamre, in the city of Arbah (which is Hebron). This is where Abraham and Isaac had lived.

And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.

Isaac lived for 140 years.

And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Isaac passed away and was reunited with his people, as he was elderly and had lived a long life. His sons, Esau and Jacob, buried him.
