Gênesis 35:5-15 NVIPT

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 35:6-5

Jacob and his retinue having safely arrived at Beth-el, we are here told what passed there. I. There he built an altar (Gen. 35:7), and no doubt offered sacrifice upon it, perhaps the tenth of his cattle, according to his vow, I will give the tenth unto thee. With these sacrifices he joined praises for former mercies, particularly that which the sight of the place brought afresh to his remembrance; and he added prayers for the continuance of God's favour to him and his family. And he called... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:6

So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is Bethel ,.... The place Jacob had called Bethel, when he was there before, was formerly called Luz, Genesis 28:19 ; and is here said to be in the land of Canaan, that is, in that part of the land which was inhabited by those who were properly called Canaanites, to distinguish it from another Luz, which was in the land of the Hittites; Judges 1:26 , he and all the people that were with him ; wives, children, servants,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:7

And he built there an altar ,.... As he was bid to do, and as he promised he would, Genesis 35:1 , and called the place Elbethel ; the God of Bethel; a title which God takes to himself, Genesis 31:13 ; or rather the sense is, that he called the place with respect God, or because of his appearance to him there, Bethel, confirming the name he had before given it, Genesis 36:19 ; see Genesis 35:15 ; as the following reason shows: because there God appeared ; or the divine... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:8

But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died ,.... That is, when, and quickly after they were come to Bethel; a nurse of Rebekah's came with her to Canaan, when she married Isaac, and is generally thought to be this Deborah, which is not improbable, Genesis 24:59 , though she might have more nurses than one, as great personages sometimes have, and then it will not be so difficult to answer the objection made here; that Rebekah's nurse, whom Jacob is supposed to leave in Canaan when he went to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:9

And God appeared unto Jacob again ,.... At Bethel, as he had at Shechem, when he bid him go thither, Genesis 35:1 ; or rather as he had at the brook Jabbok, where he said to him the same things as here, Genesis 32:24 , though Jarchi interprets it of his appearing again to him at the same place at Bethel, where he had appeared to him the first time, at his going to Haran, and now a second time: when he came out of Padanaram ; or returned from thence: and blessed him ; with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:10

And God said unto him, thy name is Jacob ,.... Which his parents gave him at his birth, and by, which he had been always called: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name ; not Jacob only, as Aben Ezra and Ben Melech interpret it, but Israel also, and that more commonly and frequently, and not only he himself personally, but his posterity also: and he called his name Israel ; confirmed the name he had before given him, Genesis 32:28 ; and by this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:11

And God said unto him, I am God Almighty ,.... And so able to protect and defend him, and to fulfil all promises made to him, and to supply him with everything he wanted; being, as some choose to render the word, "God all sufficient", having a sufficiency of all good things in him to communicate to his people: be fruitful and multiply ; which carries in it a promise or prophecy that he should increase and multiply, though not he himself personally, he having but one son born after... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:12

And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee will I give it ,.... Meaning the land of Canaan, which, as he had by promise given it to his grandfather, and father, so he would give it to him; thus renewing the grant of it for his comfort, and the encouragement of his faith, when he had been in danger of being destroyed by the inhabitants of it, and was obliged to remove from one part of it to another: and to thy seed after thee will I give the land ; and not only make a grant of... read more
