The name reflects its spiritual importance as a place of divine encounters and worship. Biblical References and Significance: Beth-el is first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/12-8.htm">Genesis 12:8</a>, where Abram (later Abraham) pitches his tent and builds an altar to the LORD. This initial reference sets the stage for Beth-el's recurring role as a site of worship and divine revelation. In <a href="/genesis/28-10.htm">Genesis 28:10-19</a>, Jacob, fleeing from his brother Esau, has a profound encounter with God at Beth-el. He dreams of a ladder reaching to heaven, with angels ascending and descending on it. Upon waking, Jacob declares, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it" (<a href="/genesis/28-16.htm">Genesis 28:16</a>). He names the place Beth-el and vows to make it a house of God, marking it with a stone pillar and anointing it with oil. Beth-el becomes a central location in Jacob's life. In <a href="/genesis/35.htm">Genesis 35:1-15</a>, God instructs Jacob to return to Beth-el to fulfill his vow. There, Jacob builds an altar and God reaffirms His covenant with him, changing his name to Israel. Historical and Religious Context: Beth-el is situated approximately 10 miles north of Jerusalem. It served as a significant religious center throughout Israel's history. During the period of the Judges, Beth-el was a place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept temporarily (<a href="/judges/20-26.htm">Judges 20:26-28</a>). In the divided kingdom era, Beth-el became one of the centers of idolatrous worship established by Jeroboam I, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel. He set up a golden calf in Beth-el, leading the people into sin (<a href="/1_kings/12-28.htm">1 Kings 12:28-33</a>). This act was condemned by prophets, including Amos, who prophesied against the idolatry practiced there (<a href="/amos/3-14.htm">Amos 3:14, 4</a>:4). Prophetic and Theological Themes: Beth-el's history reflects the tension between true worship and idolatry. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the human tendency to stray from His commands. The site is a testament to God's willingness to meet His people, as well as the consequences of turning away from Him. Archaeological Insights: Modern archaeological efforts have identified the ancient site of Beth-el with the village of Beitin. Excavations have uncovered remains that provide insight into the city's historical and religious significance, including evidence of its occupation during the biblical period. Legacy and Influence: Beth-el's legacy endures as a symbol of divine encounter and covenant. It is a place where God revealed Himself to the patriarchs and where His promises were affirmed. Despite its later association with idolatry, Beth-el's foundational role in Israel's spiritual history remains a powerful testament to God's enduring presence and faithfulness.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Beth-Elthe house of God<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/416.htm">416.
