Then Jacob piled up stones to make a table with a flat top, so that he could burn animals to show respect to God. And Jacob gave that place a new name. He called it El Bethel. That name means God is in Bethel. A long time before this, when Jacob ran away from his brother Esau, God came and talked to Jacob in that place. That’s the reason why Jacob gave it that name.

Context — Jacob Returns to Bethel
5As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
6So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
7There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.
8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bacuth. 9After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.Cross References

Genesis 35:7 Summary
Genesis 35:7 tells us that Jacob built an altar to worship God because God had revealed Himself to him at that place. This shows that Jacob wanted to remember and honor God's presence in his life, similar to what we see in Genesis 28:13-15, where God promises to be with Jacob. Just like Jacob, we can create reminders of God's faithfulness in our lives, such as writing down answers to prayer or sharing our testimonies with others, as seen in Psalm 107:1-2, where people are called to give thanks to God for His goodness. By doing so, we can trust in God's presence and promises, just as Jacob did.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Jacob building an altar in Genesis 35:7?
Jacob built an altar to worship and honor God, who had revealed Himself to him at that place, similar to what he did in Genesis 33:20, acknowledging God's presence and faithfulness in his life.
What does the name El-bethel mean and why is it important?
The name El-bethel means 'God of Bethel', emphasizing the revelation of God to Jacob at that location, as mentioned in Genesis 35:7, and highlighting the importance of remembering and honoring God's interventions in our lives.
How does this event relate to Jacob's earlier experiences?
This event is a reminder of God's promise to Jacob, first made in Genesis 28:13-15, where God promised to be with him and bless him, and now, in Genesis 35:7, Jacob acknowledges the fulfillment of that promise.
What can we learn from Jacob's actions in this verse?
We can learn the importance of gratitude and remembrance, as seen in Jacob's decision to build an altar and name the place El-bethel, which is similar to the principle found in Deuteronomy 8:2-5, where the Israelites were to remember God's provision and faithfulness in the wilderness.
Reflection Questions

Gill's Exposition on Genesis 35:7
And he built there an altar,.... As he was bid to do, and as he promised he would, Genesis 35:1; and called the place Elbethel; the God of Bethel; a title which God takes to himself, Genesis 31:13;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 35:7
And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. El-Beth-el - i:e., the God of Beth-el.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 35:7
El-beth-el, i.e. He confirmed the name which he had formerly given to the place.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 35:7
Genesis 35:7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.Ver. 7. Because there God appeared.] Heb., Revelavissent Dii. Not the angels, but the sacred Trinity.
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 35:7
(7) El-beth-el.—That is, the God of the house of God: the God into whose house he had been admitted, and seen there the wonders of His providence. God appeared.—The verb here, contrary to rule, is plural (see Note on Genesis 20:13), but the Samaritan Pentateuch has the singular. No argument can be drawn either way from the versions, as the word for God is singular in them all, and the verb necessarily singular also. In no other language but Hebrew is the name of God plural, but joined with verbs and adjectives in the singular.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 35:7
Verse 7. El-beth-el] אל בית אל the strong God, the house of the strong God. But the first אל el is wanting in one of De Rossi's MSS., as it is also in the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and some copies of the Arabic. The sentence reads much better without it, and much more consistent with the parallel passages.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 35:7
7. the place] See notes on Genesis 12:6, Genesis 28:11. El-beth-el] That is, the God of Beth-el. Here, as in Genesis 33:20, the altar receives the name of the deity. was revealed] Referring to Genesis 28:12-13. In the Heb. “was revealed” is in the plural: see note on Genesis 20:13, cf. Joshua 24:19. Dillmann (Theologie d. A.T., p. 211) explains this by saying that “Elohim” here is “God with the angels.” The Divine Presence is regarded as hidden or covered, and needing to be “revealed”; cf. Numbers 24:4; Numbers 24:16.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 35:7
7. El-beth-el — God of the house of God. Everywhere he seeks to honour the divine Name. Compare the hallowed names El-Elohe-Israel (Genesis 33:20) and Penuel, (Genesis 32:30.)
