Then Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. He happened upon a certain place and spent the night there, for the sun had set. So he took one of the stones from the place and put it by his head and lay down in that place.
#genesis 28:10-11 #vayetsei

The "certain place" was the location of the city of Luz, which Jacob renamed to Beth-El. God has a special connection with the Land of #israel, not just the people of Israel. For whatever reasons, there are a handful of places that have special significance to God. Beth-El, Sinai, and Zion, for example. Might they correspond to landmarks or boundaries of the Garden of Eden? I don't know and God hasn't told us. We know they exist. The "why" is apparently above our pay grade.
