Meaning 'house of God,' Bethel is where Jacob encountered God in a dream, named the place, and vowed his loyalty. Later it became a worship center and a flashpoint of religious tension during the kingdom division. The town embodies the tension between authentic encounter with God and the failure to follow through on covenant vows.

Hear its story sung

"God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”"
