Expanded Bible

² So Jacob said to his ·family [household] and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods you have, and ·make yourselves clean [purify yourselves], and change your clothes. ³ We will ·leave here and go [^Lrise up and go up] to Bethel. There I will build an altar to God, who ·has helped [^Lanswered] me ·during my time of trouble [^Lin the day of my distress]. He has been with me [^Can indication of a covenant relationship] everywhere I have gone.” ⁴ So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods ·they had [in their possession; ^Lin their hands], and the earrings ·they were wearing [^Lon their ears], and he hid them under the ·great tree [^Loak; or terebinth; 12:6] near the town of Shechem.
