创世记 35:5 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 35:1-5

Here, I. God reminds Jacob of his vow at Beth-el, and sends him thither to perform it, Gen. 35:1. Jacob had said in the day of his distress, If I come again in peace, this stone shall be God's house, Gen. 28:22. God had performed his part of the bargain, and had given Jacob more than bread to eat and raiment to put on?he had got an estate, and had become two bands; but, it should seem, he had forgotten his vow, or at least had too long deferred the performance of it. Seven or eight years it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:5

And they journeyed ,.... Jacob and his family, with all that were with them, from Shechem to Bethel: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them ; an exceeding great panic seized the inhabitants of the cities of the land of Canaan, all about Shechem, which was from God himself impressing it on their minds, through what the sons of Jacob had done to that city: and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob ; as it might have been thought they would, and... read more

The terror of God - A supernatural awe sent by the Almighty, was upon the cities that were round about, so that they were not molested in their departure. This could be owing to nothing less than the especial providence of God. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 35:5

Verse 5 5.And the terror of God was upon the cities. It now manifestly appears that deliverance was not in vain promised to the holy man by God; since, amidst so many hostile swords, he goes forth not only in safety but undisturbed. By the destruction of the Shechemites all the neighboring people were inflamed with enmity against a single family; yet no one moves to take vengeance. The reason is explained by Moses, that the terror of God had fallen upon them, which repressed their violent... read more

Bethel revisited. I. JACOB 'S JOURNEY TO BETHEL . 1. The occasion of the journey.

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 35:1-15

God with us. Jacob's settlement with his family at Bethel. This was a solemn renewal of the covenant to the patriarch at the end of his pilgrimage. It was the occasion for a new dedication of himself and his household by vows and offerings, and by separation of themselves from all heathen things and thoughts around the newly-erected altar El-Bethel . I. REVELATION the basis of faith. God went up from him after he had spoken with him, and there he set up a pillar of stone, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 35:5

And they journeyed (from Shechem, after the work of reformation just described): and the terror of God —meaning not simply a great terror, as in Genesis 23:6 ; Genesis 30:8 (Dathe, Bush), but either a supernatural dread inspired by Elohim (Ainsworth, Clericus, Rosenmüller, Keil, Kalisch, and others), or a fear of Elohim, under whose care Jacob manifestly bad been taken (Murphy, Quarry)— was upon the cities that were round about them ,—literally, in their circuits , i.e. wherever... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 35:5

Genesis 35:5. The terror of God A great terror from God; was upon the cities Especially the cities nearest to Shechem, so that, although, humanly speaking, they were able, they were restrained from pursuing or destroying Jacob and his family. Nothing less could have secured them, considering the number, power, and rage of their enemies. God governs the world more by secret terrors on men’s minds than we are aware of. read more

Back in Canaan (33:18-35:15)From Succoth Jacob later moved with his household across the Jordan River into Canaan itself and settled in Shechem.

Jacob’s sons agreed... read more
