Beth-Elבית אל
Beth-El ('House of God') was a town in the hill country north of Jerusalem (its site lies near modern Beitin in the West Bank). In the Torah it is the place where Jacob dreamed of the ladder reaching to heaven and named the site; it later served as an important cultic center in the period of the Israelite kingdoms.
