Genesis 35:5-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. While Jacob and his family were travelling through Canaan, God terrified the people in the towns so much that no one dared bother them.

6. Finally, they reached Bethel, also known as Luz.

7. Jacob built an altar there and called it “God of Bethel”, because that was the place where God had appeared to him when he was running from Esau.

8. While they were there, Rebekah's personal servant Deborah died. They buried her under an oak tree and called it “Weeping Oak”.
