God’s Covenant Renewal with Jacob

In Genesis 35, God calls Jacob to return to Bethel and renew his covenant. Jacob purifies his family, removes idols, and builds an altar to the Lord. In this chapter, God confirms Jacob’s new name: Israel, and reaffirms His promises. Even in the midst of sorrow with the loss of Rachel and Isaac, God’s faithfulness remains. A powerful message about holiness, transformation, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
