Genesis 35:6-14
New International Version
6 Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz(A) (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.(B) 7 There he built an altar,(C) and he called the place El Bethel,[a](D) because it was there that God revealed himself to him(E) when he was fleeing from his brother.(F)
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse,(G) died and was buried under the oak(H) outside Bethel.(I) So it was named Allon Bakuth.[b]
9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,[c](J) God appeared to him again and blessed him.(K) 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,[d] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.[e]”(L) So he named him Israel.
11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty[f];(M) be fruitful and increase in number.(N) A nation(O) and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.(P) 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.(Q)”(R) 13 Then God went up from him(S) at the place where he had talked with him.
14 Jacob set up a stone pillar(T) at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering(U) on it; he also poured oil on it.(V)
