Genesis 35:5-7

5As they set out, a terror from God spread over the people in all the towns of that area, so no one attacked Jacob’s family.

6Eventually, Jacob and his household arrived at Luz (also called Bethel) in Canaan.

7Jacob built an altar there and named the place El-bethel (which means “God of Bethel”), because God had appeared to him there when he was fleeing from his brother, Esau.
