And then chapter 36 is one big genealogy about Esau.

This is when he was fleeing Esau. He was about to leave the promised land.

And God had promised in that moment to bring him back to this land.

And God is now calling Jacob.

He has returned.

He's calling him to return to that spot to Bethel

and to build an altar there for him.
