Genesis 35:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 For we will rise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there unto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their [a]earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under an oak, which was by Shechem.
5 Then they went on their journey, and the [b]fear of God was upon the cities that were round about them: so that they did not follow after the sons of Jacob.

Genesis 35:3-5
English Standard Version
3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God (A)who answers me in the day of my distress and (B)has been with me wherever I have gone.” 4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under (C)the terebinth tree that was near Shechem.
5 And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
