Kejadian 35:7

35:7 He built an altar there and named the place El Bethel ¹  because there God had revealed himself ²  to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

Kejadian 27:43

27:43 Now then, my son, do what I say. ³  Run away immediately ⁴  to my brother Laban in Haran.

[35:7]  ¹ sn The name El-Bethel means “God of Bethel.”

[35:7]  ² tn Heb “revealed themselves.” The verb נִגְלוּ (niglu), translated “revealed himself,” is plural, even though one expects the singular form with the plural of majesty. Perhaps אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) is here a numerical plural, referring both to God and the angelic beings that appeared to Jacob. See the note on the word “know” in Gen 3:5.

[27:43]  ³ tn Heb “listen to my voice.”

[27:43]  ⁴ tn Heb “arise, flee.”
