dwell there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when

to God; who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompained me in
my journey.

which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree,
that is behind the city of Sichem.

cities round about, and they durst not pursue after them as they went
away.
