Genesis 31:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. The angel of God. That Divine Being styles himself (Genesis 31:13) the God of Beth-el (cf. Genesis 32:24-32; Genesis 35:9-15; Genesis 48:15-16). He was not one of the angels who were seen ascending and descending on the symbolic ladder. He identified himself with God.
