Translate this quote margin in a way that is natural in your language and that fits with what God says. Alternate translation: “Then God told Jacob,”
ק֛וּם
arise
Alternate translation: “Get packed”
עֲלֵ֥ה בֵֽית אֵ֖ל וְשֶׁב שָׁ֑ם

The verb go up reflects the fact that the town of Bethel is higher in elevation than the city of Shechem; it does not refer to the direction they were going, which was south. Many translations leave up implied (to prevent confusion). Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and travel to the town of Bethel and live there.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַעֲשֵׂה שָׁ֣ם מִזְבֵּ֔חַ
and,make there altar
See how you translated altar in Gen 33:20.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַנִּרְאֶ֣ה אֵלֶ֔יךָ

See how you translated appeared in Gen 26:2, 24. Alternate translation: “who came to you there” or “who introduced myself to you there”

See how you translated “flee” in Gen 31:20-21, 27.

Alternate translation: “from the anger of your brother Esau.”
35:1-29 This chapter highlights God’s promises, Jacob’s vow, and the transition to Jacob’s sons’ carrying on the covenant. Deborah, Rachel, and Isaac all died, marking the end of an era and of the account of Isaac’s family (25:19–35:29).
• Idols were removed (35:1-4) and pure worship was established (35:6-7). During this transition, the faith had to be revitalized so that the covenant could be carried forward by Jacob’s sons.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
