Genesis 35:1-7
1And GodH430 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, AriseH6965, go upH5927 to Beth–elH1008, and dwellH3427 there: and makeH6213 there an altarH4196 unto GodH410, that appearedH7200 unto thee when thou fleddestH1272 from the faceH6440 of EsauH6215 thy brotherH251. 2Then JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his householdH1004, and to all that were with him, Put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 that are among youH8432, and be cleanH2891, and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071: 3And let us ariseH6965, and go upH5927 to Beth–elH1008; and I will makeH6213 there an altarH4196 unto GodH410, who answeredH6030 me in the dayH3117 of my distressH6869, and was with me in the wayH1870 which I wentH1980. 4And they gaveH5414 unto JacobH3290 all the strangeH5236 godsH430 which were in their handH3027, and all their earringsH5141 which were in their earsH241; and JacobH3290 hidH2934 them under the oakH424 which was by ShechemH7927. 5And they journeyedH5265: and the terrorH2847 of GodH430 was upon the citiesH5892 that were round aboutH5439 them, and they did not pursueH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290.
6So JacobH3290 cameH935 to LuzH3870, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, that is, Beth–elH1008, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him. 7And he builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 El–beth–elH416: because there GodH430 appearedH1540 unto him, when he fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251.1
