SEV Biblia, Chapter 35:2

Entonces Jacob dijo a su familia y a todos los que con él estaban : Quitad los dioses ajenos que hay entre vosotros, y limpiaos, y mudad vuestros vestidos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:2

Verse 2. Put away the
strange gods] rknh yhla elohey hannechar, the gods of the foreigners, which were among them. Jacob's servants were all Syrians, and no doubt were addicted less or more to idolatry and superstition. These gods might belong to them, or, as some have conjectured, they were the teraphim which Rachel stole; but these have already been supposed to be astrological tables, or something of this kind, called by Laban his gods, because by them he supposed he could predict future events, and that they referred to certain astral and planetary intelligences, by whose influences sublunary things were regulated. But it is more natural to suppose that these gods found now in Jacob's family were images of silver, gold, or curious workmanship, which were found among the spoils of the city of Shechem. Lest these should become incitements to idolatry, Jacob orders them to be put away.

Be clean, and change your garments] Personal or outward purification, as emblematical of the sanctification of the soul, has been in use among all the true worshippers of God from the beginning of the world. In many cases the law of Moses more solemnly enjoined rites and ceremonies which had been in use from the earliest ages. ""A Hindoo considers those clothes defiled in which he has been employed in business, and always changes them before eating and worship.""-WARD.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-5 - Beth-el was forgotten. But as many as God loves, he will remind of neglected duties, one way or other, by conscience or by providences When we have vowed a vow to God, it is best not to defer the payment of it; yet better late than never. Jacob commanded his household to prepare, not only for the journey and removal, but for religiou services. Masters of families should use their authority to keep u religion in their families, Jos 24:15. They must put away strange gods In families where there is a face of religion, and an altar to God, ye many times there is much amiss, and more strange gods than one woul suppose. They must be clean, and change their garments. These were but outward ceremonies, signifying the purifying and change of the heart What are clean clothes, and new clothes, without a clean heart, and new heart? If Jacob had called for these idols sooner, they had parte with them sooner. Sometimes attempts for reformation succeed bette than we could have thought. Jacob buried their images. We must be wholly separated from our sins, as we are from those that are dead an buried out of sight. He removed from Shechem to Beth-el. Though the Canaanites were very angry against the sons of Jacob for their barbarous usage of the Shechemites, yet they were so kept back by Divine power, that they could not take the opportunity now offered to avenge them. The way of duty is the way of safety. When we are abou God's work, we are under special protection; God is with us, while we are with him; and if He be for us, who can be against us? God govern the world more by secret terrors on men's minds than we are aware of.
