Geneva Bible Notes (1560)Genesis 35

1 ! Jaakob at Gods commandement goeth vp to Beth-el.

2 b That by this outwarde act they shuld shewe their inwarde repentance.

8 ! Deborah dyeth.

13 e As God is said to descend, when he sheweth some signe of his presence: so he is said to ascend when the vision is ended.

16 f The Ebrewe worde signifieth as muche ground as on may go from bayte to bayte, which is taken for halfe a days journey.

20 g The ancient fathers vsed this ceremonie to testifie their hope of the resurrection to come, which was not generally [???].

22 h This teacheth that the fathers were not chosen for their merites, but by Gods onely mercies, whose election by their fautes was not changed.
