Genesis 35:2-8
2So JacobH3290 saidH559 to his 1householdH1004 and to allH3605 whoH834 were with him, “RemoveH5493 2the foreignH5236 godsH430 whichH834 are amongH8432 you, and 3purifyH2891 yourselves and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071; 3and let’s ariseH6965 and goH5927 upH5927 to BethelH1008, and I will makeH6213 4an altarH4196 thereH8033 to GodH410, 5who answeredH6030 me on the dayH3117 of my distressH6869 and 6has beenH1961 with me 7whereverH1870H834 I have goneH1980.” 4So they gaveH5414 JacobH3290 allH3605 the foreignH5236 godsH430 whichH834 8they hadH3027 and the ringsH5141 whichH834 were in their earsH241, and JacobH3290 hidH2934 them underH8478 the 9oakH424 whichH834 was nearH5973 ShechemH7927.
5As they journeyedH5265, there was 1011a greatH430 terrorH2847 upon the citiesH5892 whichH834 were aroundH5439 them, and they did not pursueH7291 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290. 6So JacobH3290 cameH935 to 12LuzH3870 (that is, BethelH1008), whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, he and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him. 7Then 13he builtH1129 an altarH4196 thereH8033, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 14El-bethelH416, becauseH3588 thereH8033 GodH430 had revealedH1540 Himself to him when he fledH1272 15from his brotherH251. 8Now 16DeborahH1683, Rebekah’sH7259 nurseH3243, diedH4191, and she was buriedH6912 belowH4480H8478 BethelH1008 underH8478 the oakH437; and it was namedH7121H8034 17Allon-bacuthH439.
