Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bamaqom {בַּמָּקוֹם | bam-mā-qôm} “in the place” specifies location and is immediately expanded by the relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} “where/that.”
Within this clause, dibber {דִּבֶּר | dib-bēr} “He spoke” combined with itto {אִתּוֹ | ʾit-tô} “with him” recalls the prior divine speech event, so the syntax tightly links God’s departure to the same sacred site of earlier communication. In English, the relative clause “where He had spoken/talked with him” preserves this dependence and the temporal nuance of completed prior speech through the past perfect in the more formal rendering.
In context — Genesis 35:13
And God went up from him at the place where He had spoken with him.
