Genesis 35:13
Arcana Coelestia #4536
4536. Genesis 35
1. And God said to Jacob, Rise up, go up to Bethel and settle there, and make there an altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled from before Esau your brother.
2. And Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, Remove the gods of the foreigner which are in the midst of you, and be purified, and change your garments.
3. And let us rise up and go up to Bethel, and I will make there an altar to the God who answered me on the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went. 1
4. And they gave to Jacob all the gods of the foreigner which were in their hand, and the jewels which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5. And they travelled on; and the terror of God was on the cities which were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6. And Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan - that is, Bethel - he and all the people who were with him.
7. And he built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, for there the gods were revealed to him, when he was fleeing from before his brother.
8. And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and was buried below Bethel under an oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.
9. And God was seen by Jacob again, when he was coming from Paddan Aram; and He blessed him.
10. And God said to him, Your name is Jacob; your name will no longer be called Jacob, but indeed Israel will be your name; and He called his name Israel.
11. And God said to him, I am God Shaddai, be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will go out from your loins.
12. And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your seed after you I will give the land.
13. And God went up from over him in the place where He talked to him.
14. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked to him, a stone pillar, and poured out a drink-offering onto it, and poured oil onto it.
15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke to him, Bethel.
16. And they travelled on from Bethel, and there was still a stretch of land to go to Ephrath; and Rachel gave birth, and suffered severely' in giving birth.
17. And it happened in her suffering severely, 2 in giving birth, that the midwife said to her, Do not be afraid, for this also is a son for you.
18. And it happened as her soul was departing, when she was about to die, that she called his name Ben-oni; and his father called him Benjamin.
19. And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.
20. And Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; this is the pillar of Rachel's grave even to this day.
21. And Israel travelled on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
22. And it happened while Israel was residing in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.
23. The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.
24. The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
25. And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant-girl: Dan and Naphtali.
26. And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant-girl: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.
27. And Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, Kiriath Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28. And the days of Issac were a hundred and eighty years.
29. And Isaac breathed his last, and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
CONTENTS
This chapter deals in the internal sense with how all else in the Lord's Natural was made Divine, the interior aspects of the Natural which were made Divine being meant by 'Israel' now. Progress towards aspects even more interior, where the Rational is situated, is described by the birth of Benjamin, and after that by Jacob's sons when they came to Isaac.

Genesis 34
1
Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2
Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
3
His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
4
Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young lady as a wife."
5
Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
6
Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
7
The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; a which thing ought not to be done.
8
Hamor talked with them, saying, "The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9
Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10
You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it."
11
Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12
Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife."
13
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14
and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15
Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
16
then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17
But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone."
18
Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
19
The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20
Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
21
"These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22
Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23
Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us."
24
All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25
It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
26
They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away.
27
Jacob's sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28
They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
29
and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
30
Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house."
31
They said, "Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"
