⁹God appeared³ to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. ¹⁰And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; ^mno longer shall your name be called Jacob, but ⁿIsrael shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. ¹¹And God said to him, ^o“I am God Almighty:⁴ be ^pfruitful and multiply. ^qA nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.⁵ ¹²^rThe land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.” ¹³Then God ^swent up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. ¹⁴And Jacob ^tset up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. ¹⁵So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him ^uBethel.
