Read Genesis 35.1-15. In 35.1-15: Jacob returns to Bethel. After many years, Jacob returns to Bethel where God had first encountered and blessed Jacob when he was fleeing from his brother Esau (28.10-22). In verse 2:The foreign gods (that are among you probably included the household gods or idols that Rachel had stolen from her father Laban when they fled from him (31.19). In verse 7: El-bethel means "God or Bethel" or "God of the house of God." God had revealed himself to Jacob there at bethel in 28.10-22. In verse 14: as Else where in Genesis (28.18), setting up a pillar of stone and pouring oil on it marks the location as a holy site at which the deity was worshipped. In verse 15: Bethel means "house of God.". Comments or Questions..
