El-bethel (Genesis 34:7, and Genesis 35) signifies an holy natural principle; for when the Lord made his human divine, he first made it holy; the difference between making divine, and holy, is this, that the divine is Jehovah himself; whereas the holy is, what is from Jehovah; the former is the divine esse, but the latter, is what exists from it. When the Lord glorified himself, he also made his human the divine esse, or Jehovah.
