Then came the sons of Iacob upon the deed, and
spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister: and took
their sheep, oxen, asses and whatsoever was in the city and also
in the fields. And all their goods, all their children and their
wives took they captive, and made havoc of all that was in the
houses. And Iacob said to Simeon and Levi: ye have troubled me and
made me stink unto the inhabiters of the land, both to the
Cananites and also unto the Pherezites. And I am few in number.
Wherefore they shall gather them selves together against me and
slay me, and so shall I and my house be destroyed. And they
answered: should they deal with our sister as with an whore?
Chapter .xxxv.
And God said unto Iacob, arise and get thee up to Bethel, and
dwell there. And make there an altar unto God that appeared unto
thee, when thou fleddest from Esau thy brother. Then said Iacob
unto his household and to all that were with him, put away the
strange gods that are among you and make your selves clean, and
change your garments, and let us arise and go up to Bethel, that I
may make an altar there, unto God which heard me in the day of my
tribulation and was with me in the way which I went. And they gave
unto Iacob all the strange gods which were under their hands, and
all their earings which were in their ears, and Iacob hid them
under an oak at Sichem.
