Genesis 35
God tells Jacob to Bethel to raise an altar
1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled before the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Jacob said to his family, and all who were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments.
3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 So they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 And they departed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, and did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (that is, Bethel), he and all the people that were with him.
7 And he built there an altar, and called El-Bethel that place, because there God was revealed to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
