Genesis 35:7-9

The Voice

⁷ There he built an altar and called the place El-bethel because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob when he was running away from his brother. ⁸ Along the way, Deborah (Rebekah’s nurse) died, and they buried her under the branches of a stately oak below Bethel. Since that day, it has been known as Allon-bacuth, which means “oak of weeping.”

⁹ Now that Jacob had come back from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again at Bethel and blessed him.
