Genesis 35:3-5

International Standard Version

³ Then let’s get up and go to Bethel, where I’ll build an altar to the God who answered me when I was in distress and who was with me on the road, wherever I went.”

⁴ So they handed over to Jacob all their foreign gods on which they had been depending,^[a] along with the rings that they were wearing on their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that grew near Shechem. ⁵ As they set out on their journey, because the people who lived in the^[b] cities around them feared God, they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
