“He established there an altar, and called it El, God of Israel” (Genesis 33:20). “He established there an altar, and called it [vayikra lo] El” – Reish Lakish said: “And called it El, God of Israel” – he said: ‘You are God of the heavenly, and I am the ruler of the earthly.’23He called himself, “Israel,” by the name El. Rav Huna said in the name of Reish Lakish: Even the beadle in a synagogue does not assume authority on his own, but you24Jacob. assume authority on your own? Tomorrow, your daughter will go out and be violated. That is what is written: “Dina, daughter of Leah…went out” (Genesis 34:1).
