Chapter 35 2, 3. Jacob’s Efforts to Remove Wrong Accepted—Jacob was humbled, and required his family to humble themselves, and to lay off all their ornaments, for he was to make an atonement for their sins, by offering a sacrifice unto God, that He might be entreated for them, and not leave them to be destroyed by other nations. God accepted the efforts of Jacob to remove the wrong from his family, and appeared unto him, and blessed him, and renewed the promise made to him, because His fear was before him (Spiritual Gifts 3:137).{1BC 1096.1}

kapitel 35

2, 3. Jakobs anstrengelser for at fjerne det forkerte, accepters. - Jakob blev ydmyget, og pålagde sin familie at ydmyge sig selv, og bortlægge alle deres smykker, for han skulle gøre soning for deres synder, ved at ofre et offer for Gud, så Han kan gå i forbøn for dem, og ikke efterlade dem til at blive udslettet af andre folk. Gud accepterede de anstrengelser Jakob gjorde for at fjerne fejlende fra sin familie, og viste sig for ham, og velsignede ham, og fornyede det løfte der er givet ham, fordi Hans frygtindgydende storhed stod foran ham. (3SG 137).
