雅各就對他家中的人並一切與他同在的人說:「你們要除掉你們中間的外邦神,也要自潔,更換衣裳。 我們要起來,上伯特利去,在那裏我要築一座壇給神,就是在我遭難的日子應允我的禱告、在我行的路上保佑我的那位。」 (創世記35:2-3 和合本)
So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Remove the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments; and let’s arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me on the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone.” (Genesis35:2-3 NASB)
