Genesis 35:5
The terror of God - A supernatural awe sent by the Almighty, was upon the cities that were round about, so that they were not molested in their departure. This could be owing to nothing less than the especial providence of God.
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.
5 And they journeyed, and athe terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to aLuz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
7 And he abuilt an altar there and called the place1 El Bethel, because bthere God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Now aDeborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called1 Allon Bachuth.
9 Then aGod appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and bblessed him.
