- 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.

- 神对雅各说,起来。上伯特利去,住在那里。要在那里筑一座坛给神,就是你逃避你哥哥以扫的时候向你显现的那位。
- 雅各就对他家中的人并一切与他同在的人说,你们要除掉你们中间的外邦神,也要自洁,更换衣裳。
- 我们要起来,上伯特利去,在那里我要筑一座坛给神,就是在我遭难的日子应允我的祷告,在我行的路上保佑我的那位。
- 他们就把外邦人的神像和他们耳朵上的环子交给雅各。雅各都藏在示剑那里的橡树底下。
- 他们便起行前往。神使那周围城邑的人都甚惊惧,就不追赶雅各的众子了。
