Genesis 35:7

1 {El-beth-el]

i.e. the God of Bethel. Cf. Genesis 28:19. There it was the place as the scene of the ladder vision which impressed jacob. He called the place "Bethel," i.e. the house of God. Now it is the God of the place, rather than the place, and he calls it El-Bethel, i.e. "the God of the house of God." Cf. Genesis 33:20.
