1. Mosebok 35,6

4 De overga til Jakob alle de fremmede gudene de hadde, og ringene i ørene sine, og Jakob gravde dem ned under eika ved Sikem.

5 Mens de reiste, falt en stor redsel fra Gud over byene rundt dem, så ingen forfulgte Jakobs sønner.

Jakob og alle folket med ham kom til Luz (det er Betel) i Kanaans land.

7 Han bygde et alter der og kalte stedet El-Betel, fordi det var der Gud hadde åpenbart seg for ham da han flyktet fra sin bror.

8 Nå døde Debora, Rebekkas amme, og ble begravet under eika nedenfor Betel; den ble kalt Allon-Bakut.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
