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

3 Thoo uh sih lamtah Bethel la cet uh sih. Ka citcai tue vaengah kai aka doo tih ka caeh long ah kai taengah aka om Pathen ham hmueihtuk pahoi ka saii ni,” a ti nah.

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.

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

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

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