“And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan–aram, and blessed him.”
After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him. The theophany at Bethel is the covenant confirmation that follows the altar-building. God appears again — as he appeared at Bethel in Genesis 28 and at Peniel in Genesis 32. The application: the God who appears at the beginning of a covenant journey appears again at the return. The covenant encounter is not a one-time event.
