- 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, "Arise, go up to Bethel and live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
- So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments;
- and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."
- So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which they had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak which was near Shechem.
- As they journeyed, there was a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
