📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Jacob was fleeing from his brother Esau's anger after deceiving their father Isaac to receive the birthright blessing. During his journey, he stopped at a place originally called Luz and had a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending, which led him to recognize it as a sacred site. As a result, Jacob renamed it Bethel, meaning "House of God," to mark this divine encounter and its significance in his life.
