Genesis 35:2-8

2And Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange 1gods that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments;

3and we will arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to the 2God that answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.

4And they gave to Jacob all the strange 3gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the terebinth that [is] by Shechem.

5And they journeyed; and the terror of 4God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

6And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.

7And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there 5God had appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

8And Deborah, Rebecca's nurse, died; and she was buried beneath Bethel, under the oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
