5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that [were] round them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan (that is Beth-el) he and all the people that [were] with him.
7 And he erected there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el, under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth.
9 And God appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram; and blessed him.
