14
And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the placewhere He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil;
4541. 'And make there an altar to the God who appeared to you' means that which is holy there. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative of the Lord, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489. This being so, the holiness of worship is meant by 'making an altar to God'.
