5.0★★★★★
Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
and named the place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
They set out from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labour was difficult.
God said to Jacob, ‘Get up! Go to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.’
Jacob built an altar there and called the place El-bethel because it was there that God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
