Places
Bethel in Genesis 28
BETH-ul
This place shows up in Genesis 28:19: “He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 28:19
“He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bethel in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
