Génesis 35:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 35:15

And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with
him, Bethel.
] He confirmed the name he had before given it, when he went to Mesopotamia, and now upon his return renews and establishes it; or he gave this name more especially to that particular spot where God conversed with him, and on which he erected a pillar, and consecrated it to religious worship, and so made it God's house, as he promised he would, ( Genesis 28:22 ) , both building an altar for sacrifice, and setting up a pillar, which was beginning an house for God.

Génesis 35:15 In-Context

13 Y Dios se alejó del lugar donde había hablado con Jacob.
14 Jacob erigió una estela de piedra en el lugar donde Dios le había hablado. Vertió sobre ella una libación, y la ungió con aceite,
15 y al lugar donde Dios le había hablado lo llamó Betel.
16 Después partieron de Betel. Cuando todavía estaban lejos de Efrata, Raquel dio a luz, pero tuvo un parto muy difícil.
17 En el momento más difícil del parto, la partera le dijo: «¡No temas; estás por tener otro varón!»
