Genesis 35:2

Jacob’s Return to Bethel

1 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to ^aBethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, ^bwho appeared to you ^cwhen you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”

2 And Jacob said to his ^ahousehold and to all who were with him, “Put away ^bthe foreign gods that are among you, ^cpurify yourselves, and change your garments.

3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, ^awho answered me in the day of my distress ^band has been with me in the way which I have gone.”

4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign¹ gods which were in their hands, and the ^aearrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under ^bthe terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
