⁹And God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-Aram, and he blessed him. ¹⁰And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” Then his name was called Israel. ¹¹And God said to him, “I am El-Shaddai.^b Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and an assemblage of nations shall be from you, and kings shall go out from your loins. ¹²And as for the land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, I will give it to you. And to your descendants after you I will give the land. ¹³And God went up from him at the place where he spoke with him. ¹⁴And Jacob set up a pillar at the place where God had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. And he poured out a drink offering upon it, and poured oil on it. ¹⁵And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

The Death of Rachel

¹⁶Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when they were still some distance^c from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. And she had hard labor. ¹⁷And when her labor was the most difficult^d the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid for you have another son.”^e ¹⁸And it happened that when her life was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-Oni.^f But his father called him Benjamin.^g ¹⁹And Rachel died and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

Read in Logos

Genesis 35:10: And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel.
