Genesis:35:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And God said unto Jacob ,
Arise ,
go up to Bethel ,
and dwell there :
and make there an altar unto God ,
that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother .
*
Then Jacob said unto his household ,
and to all that were with him ,
Put away the strange gods that are among you ,
and be clean ,
and change your garments :
*
And let us arise ,
and go up to Bethel ;
and I will make there an altar unto God ,
who answered me in the day of my distress ,
and was with me in the way which I went .
*
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand ,
and all their earrings which were in their ears ;
and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem .
*
And they journeyed :
and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them ,
and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob .
*
So Jacob came to Luz ,
which is in the land of Canaan ,
that is ,
Bethel ,
he and all the people that were with him .
*
And he built there an altar ,
and called the place Elbethel :
because there God appeared unto him ,
when he fled from the face of his brother .
*
But Deborah Rebekah '
s nurse died ,
and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak :
and the name of it was called Allonbachuth .
