- 神對雅各說、起來、上伯特利去、住在那裡、要在那裡築一座壇給 神、就是你逃避你哥哥以掃的時候向你顯現的那位。
- 雅各就對他家中的人、並一切與他同在的人說、你們要除掉你們中間的外邦神、也要自潔、更換衣裳。
- 我們要起來、上伯特利去.在那裡我要築一座壇給 神、就是在我遭難的日子、應允我的禱告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位。
- 他們就把外邦人的神像、和他們耳朵上的環子、交給雅各.雅各都藏在示劍那裡的橡樹底下。
- 他們便起行前往. 神使那周圍城邑的人都甚驚懼、就不追趕雅各的眾子了。

- Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."
- So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.
- Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone."
- So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.
- Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.
