Altars in the Old Testament were often constructed to commemorate a significant encounter with God or to mark a place of divine intervention. This act reflects Jacob's acknowledgment of God's protection and blessings, especially after his reconciliation with Esau. Altars were typically made of earth or uncut stones, as instructed in <a href="/exodus/20-24.htm">Exodus 20:24-25</a>, symbolizing purity and dedication to God.<p><b>and called it El-Elohe-Israel.</b><br>The name "El-Elohe-Israel" translates to "God, the God of Israel." This is significant as it marks a personal declaration of faith by Jacob, who was renamed Israel after wrestling with God (<a href="/genesis/32-28.htm">Genesis 32:28</a>). This naming indicates Jacob's recognition of God's sovereignty and his personal relationship with Him. It also foreshadows the nation of Israel's identity as God's chosen people. The use of "El" emphasizes God's might and power, while "Elohe-Israel" personalizes this relationship, highlighting the covenantal bond between God and Jacob's descendants. This act of naming the altar serves as a testament to God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jacob.htm">Jacob</a></b><br>The patriarch who set up the altar.

This especially appears in his calling the altar "El, the Elohim of Israel." Of course the title of Jehovah could not be used here, as the altar had a special reference to the change of Jacob's name, and was an acknowledgment on his own part of his now being Israel, a prince with El, that is. with God.<p><span class= "bld"><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/genesis/33.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 20.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And he erected there an altar,</span> - as Abram his ancestor had done (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>) - <span class="cmt_word">and called it</span> - not invoked upon it, <span class="accented">invocavit super illud</span> (Vulgate), <span class="greek">ἐτεκαλήσατο</span> (LXX.), but named it (Dathe, Rosenmüller, Keil, etc.) - <span class="cmt_word">El-elohe-Israel</span> - <span class="accented">i.e.</span> God, the God of Israel; meaning, he called it the altar of God, the God of Israel (Rosenmüller), or, reading <span class="accented">el</span> as a preposition, "To the God of Israel" (Quarry, p. 508). <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/genesis/33-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">There</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁ֖ם</span> <span class="translit">(šām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8033.htm">Strong's 8033: </a> </span><span class="str2">There, then, thither</span><br /><br /><span class="word">he set up</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיַּצֶּב־</span> <span class="translit">(way·yaṣ·ṣeḇ-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5324.htm">Strong's 5324: </a> </span><span class="str2">To take one's stand, stand</span><br /><br /><span class="word">an altar</span><br /><span class="heb">מִזְבֵּ֑חַ</span> <span class="translit">(miz·bê·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4196.htm">Strong's 4196: </a> </span><span class="str2">An altar</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and called it</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיִּ֨קְרָא־</span> <span class="translit">(way·yiq·rā-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7121.htm">Strong's 7121: </a> </span><span class="str2">To call, proclaim, read</span><br /><br /><span class="word">El-Elohe-Israel.</span><br /><span class="heb">אֵ֖ל</span> <span class="translit">(’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_410.htm">Strong's 410: </a> </span><span class="str2">Strength -- as adjective, mighty, the Almighty</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/genesis/33-20.htm">Genesis 33:20 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/genesis/33-20.htm">OT Law: Genesis 33:20 He erected an altar there and called (Gen.
