Genesis 35:3-5

New Century Version

³ We will leave here and go to Bethel. There I will build an altar to God, who has helped me during my time of trouble. He has been with me everywhere I have gone.” ⁴ So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had, and the earrings they were wearing, and he hid them under the great tree near the town of Shechem. ⁵ Then Jacob and his sons left there. But God caused the people in the nearby cities to be afraid, so they did not follow them.
