Genesis 35:5-8
New American Standard Bible
5 As they journeyed, there was [a](A)a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to (B)Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 Then (C)he built an altar there, and called the place [b]El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled [c]from his brother. 8 Now (D)Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and it was named [d]Allon-bacuth.
