Genesis 35:5-7

5As they journeyed, there was 12a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6So Jacob came to 3Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7Then 4he built an altar there, and called the place 5El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled 6from his brother.
