Genesis 35:2-8

2Then JacobH3290 saidH559 to his householdH1004, and to all that were with him, Put awayH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 that are among youH8432, and be cleanH2891, and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071: 3And let us ariseH6965, and go upH5927 to BethelH1008; and I will makeH6213 there an altarH4196 to GodH410, who answeredH6030 me in the dayH3117 of my distressH6869, and was with me in the wayH1870 which I wentH1980. 4And they gaveH5414 to JacobH3290 all the foreignH5236 godsH430 which were in their handH3027, and the 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 on the citiesH5892 that were aroundH5439 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, BethelH1008, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him. 7And he builtH1129 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the placeH4725 ElbethelH416: because there GodH430 appearedH1540 to him, when he fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251.1 8But DeborahH1683 Rebekah’sH7259 nurseH3243 diedH4191, and she was buriedH6912 beneath BethelH1008 under an oakH437: and the nameH8034 of it was calledH7121 AllonbachuthH439.2
