"And God appeared to Jacob again when he came" (Genesis 35:9). Rabbi Isaac opened: "An altar of stones you shall make for Me" (Exodus 20:22). And here is a matter of inference from the lighter to the weightier: if this one who built an altar for My name, behold I reveal Myself to him and bless him, then Jacob, whose likeness is fixed upon My throne, how much more so. Rabbi Levi opened: "And an ox and a ram for peace offerings" (Leviticus 9:4). And here is a matter of inference from the lighter to the weightier: if this one who offered a ram for My name, behold I reveal Myself to him and bless him, then Jacob, whose likeness is fixed upon My throne, how much more so. "Blessed shall you be in your coming and blessed shall you be in your going out" (Deuteronomy 28:6): in his coming to the house of his father-in-law he was laden with blessings, "And God Almighty bless you" (Genesis 28:3); and in his going out from the house of his father-in-law he was laden with blessings, "And God appeared to Jacob" (Genesis 35:9).
Jacob The Divine
Bereshit Rabbah 82:2
וַיֵּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶל יַעֲקֹב עוֹד בְּבֹאוֹ. רַבִּי יִצְחָק פָּתַח: מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים תַּעֲשֶׂה לִי. וַהֲרֵי דְבָרִים קַל וָחֹמֶר: וּמָה אִם זֶה שֶׁבָּנָה מִזְבֵּחַ לִשְׁמִי הֲרֵי אֲנִי נִגְלָה עָלָיו וּמְבָרְכוֹ, יַעֲקֹב שֶׁאִיקוֹנִין שֶׁלּוֹ קְבוּעָה בְּכִסְאִי עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה. רַבִּי לֵוִי פָּתַח: וְשׁוֹר וָאַיִל לִשְׁלָמִים. וַהֲרֵי דְבָרִים קַל וָחֹמֶר: וּמַה זֶּה שֶׁהִקְרִיב אַיִל לִשְׁמִי הֲרֵי אֲנִי נִגְלָה עָלָיו וּמְבָרְכוֹ, יַעֲקֹב שֶׁאִיקוֹנִין שֶׁלּוֹ קָבוּעַ בְּכִסְאִי עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּבֹאֶךָ וּבָרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּצֵאתֶךָ: בְּבוֹאוֹ לְבֵית חָמִיו נִטְעַן בְּרָכוֹת, וְאֵל שַׁדַּי יְבָרֵךְ אֹתְךָ, וּבְצֵאתוֹ מִבֵּית חָמִיו נִטְעַן בְּרָכוֹת, וַיֵּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֶל יַעֲקֹב.
