Jacob's sons Levi and Simeon pillaged the people of Shechem as revenge for the rape of their sister Dinah. Afterwards God commanded Jacob to build Him an altar at Bethel, and Jacob made preparations for this mission by making his household bury its foreign gods. At Bethel God promised to make Jacob's descendants into an organization of nations that would produce kings. Similarly, Esau's lineage also reportedly produced clans, chiefs and kings.
