📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Jacob had fled to Padanaram in Mesopotamia to escape his brother Esau's anger after deceiving him out of his birthright and blessing. After living there for many years, marrying Leah and Rachel, and fathering children, Jacob was returning to the land of Canaan as God had previously instructed. This appearance of God at Bethel served as a reaffirmation of His covenant promises to Jacob, marking a pivotal moment in his journey back home.
