2 And Jacob said to his (A)household and to all who were with him, “Put away (B)the foreign gods that are among you, (C)purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, (D)who answered me in the day of my distress (E)and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign [a]gods which were in their hands, and the (F)earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under (G)the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
