<p class="bodytext">So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a memorial pillar.

You must not erect a sacred pillar,<n id="1" /> a thing the <sc>Lordsc> your God detests.

Igal son of Nathan from Zobah, Bani the Gadite,

Jacob set up a marker<n id="1" /> over her grave; it is<n id="2" /> the Marker of Rachel&#8217;s Grave to this day.p>

<p class="bodytext">Early<n id="1" /> in the morning Jacob<n id="2" /> took the stone he had placed near his head<n id="3" /> and set it up as a sacred stone.<n id="4" /> Then he poured oil on top of it.

Then this stone<n id="1" /> that I have set up as a sacred stone will be the house of God, and I will surely<n id="2" /> give you back a tenth of everything you give me.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

So Jacob set up a sacred stone pillar in the place where God spoke with him.<n id="1" /> He poured out a drink offering on it, and then he poured oil on it.<n id="2" />

For the Israelites<n id="1" /> must live many days without a king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred fertility pillar, without ephod or idols.

Then I will surround my temple<n id="1" /> to protect it like a guard<n id="2" /> from anyone crossing back and forth; so no one will cross over against them anymore as an oppressor, for now I myself have seen it.p>

I am the God of Bethel,<n id="1" /> where you anointed<n id="2" /> the sacred stone and made a vow to me.<n id="3" /> Now leave this land immediately<n id="4" /> and return to your native land.&#8217;&#8221;p>

and Moses wrote down all the words of the <sc>Lordsc>. Early in the morning he built<n id="1" /> an altar at the foot<n id="2" /> of the mountain and arranged<n id="3" /> twelve standing stones<n id="4" /> &#8211; according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
