2 Jacob said to his household and to everyone who was with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you. Clean yourselves and change your clothes.
3 Then let’s rise and go up to Bethel so that I can build an altar there to the God who answered me when I was in trouble and who has been with me wherever I’ve gone."
4 So they gave Jacob all of the foreign gods they had, as well as the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the terebinth at Shechem.
5 When they set out, God made all of the surrounding cities fearful so that they didn’t pursue Jacob’s sons.
6 Jacob and all of the people with him arrived in Luz, otherwise known as Bethel, in the land of Canaan.
7 He built an altar there and named the place El-bethel, because God had revealed himself to him there when he ran away from his brother.
8 Rebekah’s nurse Deborah died and was buried at Bethel under the oak, and Jacob named it Allon-bacuth.
