2 So Jacob said to his household and to everyone who was with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Cleanse yourselves and change your clothes.
3 Now let’s get up and go up to Beth-El so that I can make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me in the way that I have gone.”
4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods in their hand and the rings in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak tree near Shechem.
5 Then they journeyed, and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, so they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
6 Then Jacob arrived at Luz in the land of Canaan (that is Beth-El), he and all the people who were with him.
7 He built an altar there and called the place El-Beth-El because God had revealed Himself to him there when he fled from the presence of his brother.
8 Then Rebekah’s nurse Deborah died, and was buried below Beth-El, under the oak—so it was named Oak of Weeping.
