Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
GEN 35:1
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him,
Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments: and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
GEN 35:2–3
And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
GEN 35:4
And they journeyed: and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
