Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 34
²⁸ They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
²⁹ and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even all that was in the houses.
³⁰ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household."
³¹ But they said, "Should he treat our sister as a harlot?"
Genesis 35
¹ 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."
² 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;
³ 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."
⁴ 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.
⁵ As they journeyed, there was a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
⁶ So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
⁷ He built an altar there, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from his brother.
