Commentary on Genesis 35:72 voices
As when he made a thankful acknowledgement of the honour God had done him in calling him Israel, he worshipped God by the name of El-elohe-israel, so now he was making a grateful recognition of God's former favour at Beth-el, he worships God by the name of El-beth-el, the God of Beth-el, because there God appeared to him.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
El-beth-el - אל בית אל the strong God, the house of the strong God. But the first אל el is wanting in one of De Rossis MSS., as it is also in the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and some copies of the Arabic. The sentence reads much better without it, and much more consistent with the parallel passages.
