Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments:
|
| 35:3 |

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son.

|
| 35:24 |
the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
|
| 35:25 |
and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;
|
| 35:26 |
and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.
|
