Genesis 33:20
There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
BSB
ASV
And he erected there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
KJV
And he erected there an altar, and called it El–elohe–Israel.
God had lately called him by the name of Israel, and now he calls God the God of Israel; though he is styled a prince with God, God shall still be a prince with him, his Lord and his God. Note, Our honours then become honours indeed to us when they are consecrated to God's honour; Israel's God is Israel's glory.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
