According to Moses, God left Jacob after they talked because He had finished giving Jacob important instructions and blessings at that place. This shows that God often appears to give guidance and then continues His work elsewhere.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29

This verse claims that God does not repent or change His mind, whereas Genesis 35:13 describes God going up from Jacob, implying a change in action or direction.

1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]

Contradiction with Numbers 23:19

It states that God does not lie or repent, which could contradict the notion of God appearing and then departing as in Genesis 35:13, suggesting a form of change or decision-making.

Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
