Genesis 35:1-5

Jacob Goes Up to Bethel

Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to ^aBethel and ¹live there, and make an altar there to ^bGod, who appeared to you ^cwhen you fled ²from your brother Esau.” 2 So Jacob said to his ^ahousehold and to all who were with him, “Put away ^bthe foreign gods which are among you and ^ccleanse yourselves and change your garments; 3 and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make ^aan altar there to God, ^bwho answered me in the day of my distress and ^chas been with me ¹wherever I have gone.” 4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which ¹they had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the ²oak which was near Shechem.
5 Then they journeyed on, and there was ¹^aa terror from God upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
