And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, that appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 Pea naʻa nau tuku kia Sēkope honau ngaahi ʻotua kehe kotoa pē naʻe ʻi honau nima, mo honau ngaahi hau, naʻe ʻi honau telinga; pea naʻe fufū ia ʻe Sēkope ʻi he lalo [ʻakau ]ko e oke naʻe ofi ki Sikemi.”

And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5 Pea naʻa nau fononga; pea ko e manavahē ki he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tuli ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope.

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.
