|And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
|And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
|
|[[God]] said to [[Jacob]], "Rise, go up to [[Bethel]]. Live there and make there an altar to God, Who appeared to you when you ran away from your brother [[Esau]]."
|
|''Bethel'' literally means "house of God." This was the location of Jacob's stairway dream.

|
|Then Jacob said to his household, and everyone with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are in your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your clothes."
|
|This certainly includes, perhaps without limitation, the ''theraphim'' that [[Rachel]] stole from [[Laban]].

|
|They gave Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and all the pendants in their ears, and Jacob hid these under the terebinth tree that was next to Shechem.

It is a tree common to the south and souteast of modern [[Israel]].<ref name=terebinth>Hirsch EG and Casanowicz IM, "[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=18&letter=O Entry for Oak and Terebinth]," ''The Jewish Encyclopedia'', acc. 22 December 2009.</ref> It is a deciduous tree that grows to a maximum height of 30 feet (9 meters) and produces red berries.<ref name=berry>"[http://net.bible.org/dictionary.php?word=Terebinth Entry for Terebinth]," NETBible, acc. 22 December 2009.</ref>
