4579. Verses 14-15 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked to him, a stone pillar, and poured out a drink-offering onto it, and poured oil onto it. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke to him, Bethel.

'Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked to him, a stone pillar' means the holiness of truth within that Divine state. 'And he poured out a drink-offering onto it' means the Divine Good of Truth. 'And poured oil onto it' means the Divine Good of love. 'And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke to him, Bethel' means the Divine Natural and its state.
