Commentary on Genesis 48:3

Theological / Devotional

God Almighty appeared unto me. By way of an introduction to what was to follow, Jacob related experiences of his earlier days, particularly the divine appearance at Luz, or Bethel, after his return from Padan-aram (see ch. 35:9-15). Use of the sacred name, “God Almighty,” the account of the appearance, and the sequence of the different promises related by Jacob show that he did not refer to his dream there on the way to Haran, but to the later vision at the same place after his return to Canaan.
