He calls the place Beit-El ('Bethel' in english, which means 'House of God') (19). He even specificly says that the stone pillar itself was "God's house" (22). And he later, in chapter 35 v14, erects another one on the road from Paddan-Aram after God apears to Him and gives him a new name, Yisra'el (Israel) . (Which he also calls Beit-El). How much do you think this is like the modern and historical Hindu Linga worship? Aum! Shanti! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
