9. God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.
10. God said to him:Your name is Jacob;you will no longer be named Jacob,but your name will be Israel. So He named him Israel.
11. God also said to him:I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations,will come from you, and kings will descend from you.
12. I will give to you the landthat I gave to Abraham and Isaac. And I will give the landto your future descendants.
13. Then God withdrew from him at the place where He had spoken to him.
14. Jacob set up a marker at the place where He had spoken to him — a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
15. Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
