1 And God will say to Jacob, Arise, go up to the house of God and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, having been seen to thee in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother. 2 And Jacob will say to his house, and to all which are with him, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and be cleansed and change your garments. 3 And we will arise and go to the house of God; and I will make there an altar to God, having answered me in the day of my distress; and he will be with me in the way which I go. 4 And they will give to Jacob all the strange gods which are in their hand and the earrings which are in their ears, and Jacob will hide them under the turpentine tree which is in Shechem. 5 And they will remove; and the terror of God will be upon the cities which are surrounding them; and they pursued not after the sons of Jacob. 6 And Jacob will come to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (this the house of God), he and all the people which are with him. 7 And he will build there an altar, and will call the place, God, the house of God; for there God appeared to him in his fleeing from the face of his brother.
