Observe how this virtuous individual continually memorializes these occurrences by mentioning the locations, ensuring that future generations can grasp the revelation that this righteous person experienced here.
And calling the name of that place Bethel.
וַיִּקְרָ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁר֩ דִּבֶּ֨ר אִתּ֥וֹ שָׁ֛ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃
