**Mahalath**
[Genesis 36:3](../../../kjv/genesis/36/3) is called Bashemath:

**And Jacob went out**
Bethel becomes, because of Jacob's vision there, one of the significant places of Scripture. To the Christian it stands for a realization, however imperfect, of the heavenly and spiritual contents of faith, answering to Paul's prayer in [Ephesians 1:17-23](../../../kjv/ephesians/1/17-23). Dispensationally, the scene speaks of Israel the nation, cast out of the Land of Promise because of evil-doing there, but holding the promise of restoration and blessing ; [Genesis 28:15](../../../kjv/genesis/28/15); [Deuteronomy 30:1-10](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/30/1-10). To "an Israelite indeed" Christ speaks of Jacob's vision as to be fulfilled in the Son of man (cf) ; [Genesis 28:12](../../../kjv/genesis/28/12); [John 1:47-51](../../../kjv/john/1/47-51).

**Bethel**
i.e. the house of God. Cf. [Genesis 35:7](../../../kjv/genesis/35/7).
