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 alej贸 del lugar donde hab铆a hablado con Jacob.
14 Jacob erigi贸 una estela de piedra en el lugar donde Dios le hab铆a hablado. Verti贸 sobre ella una libaci贸n, y la ungi贸 con aceite,
15 y al lugar donde Dios le hab铆a hablado lo llam贸 Betel.
16 Despu茅s partieron de Betel. Cuando todav铆a estaban lejos de Efrata, Raquel dio a luz, pero tuvo un parto muy dif铆cil.
17 En el momento m谩s dif铆cil del parto, la partera le dijo: 芦隆No temas; est谩s por tener otro var贸n!禄
