Genesis 35:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Then Jacob and his sons left there. But ·God caused the people in the nearby cities to be afraid [^Lthe terror of God was on the surrounding cities], so they did not ·follow [pursue] them. ⁶ And Jacob and all the people who were with him went to Luz, which is now called Bethel, in the land of Canaan. ⁷ There Jacob built an altar and named the place ·Bethel, after God [El-Bethel; or “God of Bethel”], because God had appeared to him there when he was ·running [fleeing] from his brother.
