What is Bethel and why is it important in the Old Testament?

Bethel was a city in the land of the Canaanites. 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, with a stone for a pillow and dreamed of a ladder going up to heaven, Afterwards, he put the stone on a pillar and poured oil on it, and named that place Bethel. Bethel can mean 'House of God', and this is a popular view of the origin of the name. However, this derivation does not fit well with either the Abraham narrative, since in this story the town already existed and must have been named as such by its Canaanite inhabitants, nor the Jacob narrative, as there is nothing in the dream that leads to 'House of God'. There was a West Semitic deity named Bethel, associated with the veneration of sacred stones, so the city is more likely to have been 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.

In the context of the Bible, the phrase "slept with his fathers" typically refers to a person dying and being buried alongside their ancestors. It signifies the passing of that individual and their reunion with their deceased family members in the afterlife. This phrase is a common euphemism for death in biblical literature, emphasizing the continuity of familial relationships even beyond death.
