SEV Biblia, Chapter 35:7
y edificó allí un altar, y llamó el lugar El-betel, porque allí se le había aparecido Dios, cuando huía de su hermano.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 35:7
Verse 7. El-beth-el] la tyb la the strong God, the house of the strong God. But the first la el is wanting in one of Deuteronomy 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - The comfort the saints have in holy ordinances, is not so much from Beth-el, the house of God, as from El-beth-el, the God of the house The ordinances are empty things, if we do not meet with God in them There Jacob buried Deborah, Rebekah's nurse. She died much lamented Old servants in a family, that have in their time been faithful an useful, ought to be respected. God appeared to Jacob. He renewed the covenant with him. I am God Almighty, God all-sufficient, able to make good the promise in due time, and to support thee and provide for the in the mean time. Two things are promised; that he should be the fathe of a great nation, and that he should be the master of a good land These two promises had a spiritual signification, which Jacob had some notion of, though not so clear and distinct as we now have. Christ is the promised Seed, and heaven is the promised land; the former is the foundation, and the latter the top-stone, of all God's favours.
