In context

4And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Shechem, and destroyed them to this day.

5So Israel departed from Shechem, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
