Jacob Goes Back To Bethel

³ and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is with me in the way that I have gone.' ⁴ And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that are in their hand, and the rings that are in their ears, and Jacob hideth them under the oak which is by Shechem; ⁵ and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities which are round about them, and they have not pursued after the sons of Jacob.
