God, the God of Israel

Genesis 33:19,20

And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.

And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael (God, the God of Israel)

Heaven explodes with a thunderous noise; the court of the almighty rejoices in such a manner that even the deepest parts of the universe are moved with its vibration…

Yet, the earth remains silent, just another day, the creeks babble, the birds chirp, the breeze moves gently through the tops of the mulberry trees, an extraordinarily uncomplicated day…

But wait, what is this, Jacob erects a statement etched in stone, a statement of rare significance that causes heaven to rejoice!

Simply put

Thank you God, for keeping your hand on me and protecting my family! I give you honor, you are my God…

EleloheIsrael



So unnoticed by the family of humanity, but so understood by the family of Israel that this quiet statement is indelibly etched within all who hear it…

God, the God of Israel
