Genesis 35:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 So Jacob told his household and all who were with him: “Get rid of the foreign gods[a] among you; then purify yourselves and change your clothes. 3 Let us now go up to Bethel so that I might build an altar there to the God who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.” 4 They gave Jacob all the foreign gods in their possession and also the rings they had in their ears[b] and Jacob buried them under the oak that is near Shechem.
