Genesis 35:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 For we will rise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there unto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their [a]earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under an oak, which was by Shechem.
5 Then they went on their journey, and the [b]fear of God was upon the cities that were round about them: so that they did not follow after the sons of Jacob.
