Douay-Rheims Bible: Genesis — Introduction, Chapter Summaries and Notes by Richard Challoner
Chapter 35
SummaryJacob purgeth his family from idols: goeth by God's commandment to Bethel, and there buildeth an altar. God appearing again to Jacob blesseth him, and changeth his name into Israel. Rachel dieth in childbirth. Isaac also dieth.
[35:10] Israel. . . This name signifieth one that prevaileth with God.
[35:22] The concubine. . .She was his lawful wife; but, according to the style of the Hebrews, is called concubine, because of her servile extraction.
