What is "Elokim Beis Kel"?
Radak: It is Luz, which Yakov called Beis Kel. There was the Mizbe'ach that Yakov built. When Bamos were permitted, they offered on it. The place was Kadosh, and Yisraelim came to pray there in Yakov's merit. He said about this "Yihyeh Beis Elokim" (Bereishis 28:22). It was a place of prophecy - "v'Zeh Sha'ar ha'Shamayim" (18:17), i.e. the gate from when one can know what they decree, from Shamayim, about the lower beings. Hoshe'a (12:5) said "Beis Kel Yimtza'enu v'Sham Yedaber Imanu." Yonasan translated here "Olim El Elokim [Beis Kel]" as 'they ascend to serve in front of Hashem, to Beis Kel.'
Bi'ur ha'Gra (Yehoshua 16:2): Yakov called three places Beis Kel - (a) What was Luz, he called Beis Kel; (b) He built a Mizbe'ach, and called the place Kel Beis Kel; (c) After Hashem blessed him, he called the place Elokim Beis Kel (Bereishis 28:19, 35:7,15).
