In Genesis 35, God commands Jacob to return to Bethel, the place where he first encountered the Lord. Jacob obeys, purifying his household and removing foreign gods. Upon arrival, God reaffirms His covenant with Jacob, promising that his descendants will be a great nation. This chapter also recounts the birth of Benjamin, Jacob's youngest son, and the death of Rachel during childbirth. The narrative emphasizes themes of obedience, the importance of worship, and the continuation of God's promises through Jacob's lineage. Jacob's return to Bethel marks a significant moment of spiritual renewal and reaffirmation of identity as God's chosen people.
