Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and בֵּית־אֵל (Bethel, meaning "house of God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for El-Bethel in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to a particular location and event in the Old Testament narrative. However, the concept of "house of God" can be related to Greek terms such as οἶκος τοῦ Θεοῦ (oikos tou Theou), which is used in the New Testament to refer to the temple or the church as the dwelling place of God. Usage: This proper noun is used in the context of a specific location where God revealed Himself to Jacob. It signifies a place of divine encounter and worship. Context: El-Bethel is a significant location in the biblical narrative, particularly in the life of Jacob. The name El-Bethel is mentioned in Genesis 35:7, where Jacob builds an altar to God after returning to Bethel. This site holds historical and spiritual importance as it is the place where God appeared to Jacob during his flight from Esau, as recorded in Genesis 28. At Bethel, Jacob had a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven, and upon waking, he declared the place to be the "house of God" (Bethel). Later, in Genesis 35, God commands Jacob to return to Bethel and build an altar, reaffirming the covenant and the divine promise given to him. The name El-Bethel emphasizes the presence and revelation of God at this sacred site, marking it as a place of worship and divine encounter. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the continuation of His covenant with the patriarchs.
