35:1-29 This chapter highlights God’s promises, Jacob’s vow, and the transition to Jacob’s sons’ carrying on the covenant. Deborah, Rachel, and Isaac all died, marking the end of an era and of the account of Isaac’s family (25:19–35:29).
• Idols were removed (35:1-4) and pure worship was established (35:6-7). During this transition, the faith had to be revitalized so that the covenant could be carried forward by Jacob’s sons.

Make sure it is clear in your translation or in a footnote that Israel (verses 21-22) and “Jacob” (verses 20, 22) refer to the same person, not two different people. Alternate translation: “Then Israel that is, Jacob, and his family moved on from there” or “Then Israel and his family started traveling again”
וַיֵּ֣ט אָֽהֳלֹ֔ה
and,pitched tent,his
Alternate translation: “and put up his tents”
מֵהָ֖לְאָה
from,beyond
This phrase reflects the perspective of Jacob, who was traveling south. Alternate translation: “on the other side of”

Many translations transliterate Migdal Eder (like most other names). Many others translate the meaning of Migdal as “the tower” and transliterate “Eder.” A few translate the meaning of the entire name as “the Tower of the Flock.” This was apparently a place near Bethlehem where sheep were raised (Micah 4:8); shepherds may have watched over their flocks from the tower. Alternate translation: “Eder Tower.”
