2 Then Jacob said unto his houshold, and to all that were with him; Put away the * 1.5 strange gods c 1.6 that are among you d 1.7, and be clear e 1.8, and change your garments f 1.9.
3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el, and I will make there an Altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress g 1.10, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their ear∣rings which were in their ears h 1.11, and Jacob hid them i 1.12 under the * 1.13 Oak k 1.14 which was by She∣chem.
5 And they journeyed: and * 1.15 the terror of God l 1.16 was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan m 1.17 (that is Beth-el) he and all the peo∣ple that were with him.
7 And he built there an Altar, and * 1.18 called the place ‖ 1.19 El-beth-el n 1.20, because there God appear∣ed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 But Deborah Rebekahs nurse o 1.21 died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called ‖ 1.22 Allon-bachuth p 1.23.
