Genesis 35:1-Ezra : . Jacob Goes to Bethel, where Elohim Appears to him as El Shaddai and Gives him the Name Israel.— This section is mainly from E and P.

She came with Rebekah into Canaan, Genesis 24:59, and probably tarried with her whilst she lived, and after her death, as it seems; and, upon Jacob’s desire, after his return from Haran, came into his family; where, being a person of great prudence and piety, her presence and advice was very useful in his numerous and divided family.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:8

Genesis 35:8 The name given to the old oak-tree speaks of mourning, of very thoughtful and sorrowful, if not of very bitter tears; of kindly remembrances of old days and faithful duties; of the utter blotting out of every recollection but such as are kindly, sad, and hopeful. Deborah was only an old servant, one who had served the family so long, so faithfully, that she had grown one of it, prized in her active life, cared for in her failing age, wept over at the last with this memorable... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:1-29

Chapter 35And so God said to Jacob, Arise, and go up to Bethel ( Genesis 35:1 ), Now Jacob is afraid. Hey, the kings are going to get together. They're going to attack me and wipe me out. And so "God is saying to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel," and dwell there: and make an altar unto God, God that appeared to thee when you were fleeing from the face of Esau your brother. So Jacob said to his household, to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, be clean, change... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 35:1-29

Genesis 35:1. And God said. This is the fifth vision in which the Lord appeared to Jacob; it marks a special providence over his safety, by removing him from the vicinity of Shechem to a peaceful dwelling. Genesis 35:2. Be clean and change your garments. Let your exterior cleanliness by water, be an emblem of your greater purity of heart. In this sanctifying manner did Jacob admit the female captives of Shechem into the Hebrew church: and so is baptism a figure of purity to the... read more

Gen 35:8 But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. Ver. 8. But Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died.] A grave matron she was; of great use while she lived, and much missed when she died. This is not every man’s case. Some have their souls, as swine, for no other use, than, as salt, to keep their bodies from putrefaction. a And when they die, they are no more missed than the sweepings of the house, or parings of the... read more
