“So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth–el, he and all the people that were with him.”
Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz — that is, Bethel — in the land of Canaan. The arrival at Bethel is the completion of the journey from the stone pillar of Genesis 28 to the rebuilt altar of verse 7. The covenant return to the covenant place. The application: arriving at Bethel is arriving at the place where everything significant in Jacob's covenant life began.
