So Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
He called that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
Then they journeyed from Bethel, and when they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel was in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother.
