Interesting things happened in India during the Solar Eclipse yesterday - Annular Solar eclipse
Genesis 35 : Altar at Bethel
God appears to Jacob and asks him to go to Bethel. [It is the place where God had appeared first to Jacob. Remember Jacob's Ladder ?] . Jacob asks his group to get rid of all the idols and gods they have.
They go to Bethel and Jacob constructs an altar for God. God blesses him and says that Nations will be descended from him and he will be the ancestor of kings.
They go forward and while they are in Ephrath, time comes for Rachel to have a baby. She delivers a son - Benjamin. She dies during childbirth.
Sons of Jacob
Leah - Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Rachel - Joseph and Benjamin.
Rachel's slave Bilhah - Dan and Naphtali.
Leah's slave Zilpah - Gad and Asher.
Jacob reaches Isaac at Mamre near Hebron. Isaac is very happy to see his son. He dies at the age of 180.
