A:Strange things happened at Bethel. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham had pitched his tent to the east of Bethel and built an altar of stones.Later, in verse 13:3, he returned to Bethel and to the sacred stone altar. Here, the town is portrayed as already being called Bethel. It was on this occasion that Abraham and Lot decided to part company because their cattle were too numerous for the land. God told Abraham that he would make him a great nation.In chapter 28, Abraham's grandson Jacob slept in a certain place and dreamed of a ladder going up to heaven then he named that place Bethel, but before then it had been called Luz. Here, the town is portrayed as being called Luz, until Jacob chose a new name, Bethel. Jacob used a stone for a pillow and after waking put it on a pillar and poured oil on it.It has long been known that there was a West Semitic deity named Bethel, associated with the veneration of sacred stones, thus these passages point to the city being named after the god Bethel.

There is no direct relationship between Bethel and Golgotha. Bethel (Beth -> House ; El -> God; ie. House of God) is where Jacob made his commitment and promise to God, and where God revealed himself and his favor to Jacob through a dream. Golgotha (cranium - the upper part of the skull) is where Jesu paid with his blood the price for our redemption, just outside the Lion's gate (earlier Sheep gate) of Jerusalem.
The name Bethel is used several times in the Bible. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham had pitched his tent to the east of Bethel and built an altar. Later, in verse 13:3, he returned to Bethel and to the sacred altar. Yet in chapter 28, his grandson Jacob slept in a certain place and dreamed of a ladder going up to heaven then he named that place Bethel, but before then it had been called Luz. Jacob used a stone for a pillow and after waking put it on a pillar and poured oil on it.A rather confusing story can be found in Genesis chapter 35. First, God told Jacob to go to Bethel. Jacob went to Luz and built a stone altar and called the place El-Bethel because God had appeared to him there. Then God Almighty came and told him that he was henceforth to be called 'Israel', and renewed his covenant to Abraham. Jacob set up a stone pillar where God had talked to him and poured wine and oil on it, and named the place where God had talked to him Bethel. Also an entirely different explanation for Jacob being called 'Israel' appears in Genesis chapter 32, after having wrestled with a god all night.In Genesis 31:13 Jacob is told either: "I am the god Bethel", or the curious introduction "I am the God of Bethel" as shown in all common English translations. The Catholic scholar Bruce Vawter says that Genesis 31:13 quite simply reads 'I am the god Bethel' ('El Bet'el). Bethel also appears to have been the national god of the city-state of Tyre in the first millennium BCE.Jumping forward to 1 Kings chapter 12, we find that the Israelite king Jeroboam made two calves of gold, setting one up in Bethel and one in Dan. He made priests and ordained a national feast day to the god symbolised by these calves, and the people came to worship.
A:Strange things happened at Bethel. In Genesis 12:8, Abraham had pitched his tent to the east of Bethel and built an altar. Later, in verse 13:3, he returned to Bethel and to the sacred altar. Yet in Genesis 28:11-22, his grandson Jacob slept in a certain place and dreamed of a ladder going up to heaven, where stood the Lord, who renewed his covenant with Abraham and Isaac. Jacob used a stone for a pillow and after waking put it on a pillar and poured oil on it. Then he named that place Bethel, but before then it had been called Luz.The dream has symbolism at two levels. At the basic level, it symbolised God's renewal of his covenant. At a deeper level, it symbolised something about Israelite beliefs long before the coming of monotheism. It has long been known that there was a West Semitic deity named Bethel, associated with the veneration of sacred stones, thus the previous passages point to the city being named after the god Bethel. The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that the worship of sacred stones constituted one of the most general and ancient forms of religion; but among no other people was this worship so important as among the Semites. Sacred stones are mentioned with great frequency in the Old Testament, with at least ten of these references associated with Jacob.

Much earlier, in Genesis 12:8, Jacob's grandfather Abraham had pitched his tent to the east of Bethel and built an altar. Later, in verse 13:3, he returned to Bethel and to the sacred altar.It has long been known that there was a West Semitic deity named Bethel, associated with the veneration of sacred stones, thus the previous passages point to the city being named after the god Bethel.

Jacob, the biblical figure, slept on a stone pillow at Bethel and had a dream of a stairway reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it. This event is famously known as Jacob's ladder.
In the Old Testament, Bethel was a significant religious site where Jacob had a dream about a ladder reaching to heaven. It was considered a place of encounter with God and was later established as a worship center by the Israelites. Bethel became important as a symbol of divine communication and spiritual connection in the biblical narrative.
Battle of Jacob's Ford happened in 1179.
