Genesis 31:13

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity." — Genesis 31:13 (ASV)

I am the God of Beth-el. —The angel of Elohim (Genesis 31:11) was the speaker, but the words were those of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 1:1). With this verse compare Genesis 28:13.
