G E N E S I S CHAP. XXXV. In this chapter we have three communions and three funerals. I. Three communions between God and Jacob. 1. God ordered Jacob to Beth-el; and, in obedience to that order, he purged his house of idols, and prepared for that journey, Genesis 35:1-5 . 2. Jacob built an altar at Beth-el, to the honour of God that had appeared to him, and in performance of his vow, Genesis 35:6 ; Genesis 35:7 . 3. God appeared to him again, and confirmed the change of his name and covenant with him ( Genesis 35:9-13 ), of which appearance Jacob made a grateful acknowledgment, Genesis 35:14 ; Genesis 35:15 . II. Three funerals. 1. Deborah's, Genesis 35:8 . 2. Rachel's, Genesis 35:16-20 . 3. Isaac's, Genesis 35:27-29 . Here is also Reuben's incest ( Genesis 35:22 ), and an account of Jacob's sons, Genesis 35:23-26 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-5" class="com-number"
