New International Version

³⁰ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble^(A) on me by making me obnoxious^(B) to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.^(C) We are few in number,^(D) and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

³¹ But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?^(E)”

Jacob Returns to Bethel

35 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel^(F) and settle there, and build an altar^(G) there to God,^(H) who appeared to you^(I) when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”^(J)

² So Jacob said to his household^(K) and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods^(L) you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.^{(M) 3} Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God,^(N) who answered me in the day of my distress^(O) and who has been with me wherever I have gone.^(P)” ⁴ So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears,^(Q) and Jacob buried them under the oak^(R) at Shechem.^(S)
