Genesis 12:8

Verse 8

Beth-el

One of the sacred places of Canaan, meaning, house of God Genesis 28:1-22; Genesis 28:1-22 (See Scofield " :-") .

It is characteristic of all apostasy that Jeroboam chose this sacred place in which to erect an idol 1 Kings 12:28; 1 Kings 12:32. (Cf) 1 Kings 13:1-5 and of divine judgment upon apostasy that God should decree the destruction of Bethel, despite its sacred memories ; 1 Kings 13:1-5; 2 Kings 23:15-17; Amos 3:14; Amos 3:15.

God never hesitates to cast aside that which no longer serves His purpose Revelation 2:5; Revelation 3:16.
