Ha'Makom - The Place

(טז) וַיִּיקַץ יַעֲקֹב מִשְּׁנָתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אָכֵן יֵשׁ יְהוָה בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְאָנֹכִי לֹא יָדָעְתִּי. (יז) וַיִּירָא וַיֹּאמַר מַה נּוֹרָא הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה אֵין זֶה כִּי אִם בֵּית אֱלֹהִים וְזֶה שַׁעַר הַשָּׁמָיִם.

Genesis 28:16-17

(16) And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: ‘Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.’ (17) And he was afraid, and said: ‘How full of awe is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.’

From Me'or Eynayim by Rabbi Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl (1730-1797)

...In the exile of Egypt (Mitzrayim) the people's consciousness/awareness (da'at) was diminished, which is like the narrow sea (Metzar Yam). For the stream of awareness that flows from the sea of wisdom was constricted and diminished, and they had not yet achieved an expansive consciousness. But with Yetziat Mitzrayim, when they came out of the Metzar Yam (the narrow sea) their consciousness of God grew and expanded. translated by Rabbi Jonathan Slater
