Genesis 35:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Let us arise and go to Bethel where I will build an altar to the God who delivered me at the time of my distress and who has been with me along the way that I have traveled.” ⁴ They gave Jacob all the foreign gods in their possession and the earrings they had in their ears. Jacob left them under the oak near Shechem. ⁵ They then journeyed on, and a great terror came upon the people who lived in that area, so they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
