And (J)I will bring you back to this land; for (K)I will not forsake you until I have done what I have [c]promised you.” 16 Then Jacob (L)awoke from his sleep and said, “(M)Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “(N)How fearsome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”

18 So Jacob rose early in the morning and took (O)the stone that he had put [d]under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on its top. 19 And he called the name of that place [e](P)Bethel; however, [f]previously the name of the city had been (Q)Luz.

10 (A)And God said to him,

“Your name is Jacob;
Your name shall no longer be called Jacob,
But Israel shall be your name.”

Thus He called his name Israel. 11 God also said to him,

“I am [a](B)God Almighty;
(C)Be fruitful and multiply;
A nation and an (D)assembly of nations shall [b]come from you,
And (E)kings shall [c]come forth from your loins.
12 (F)And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac,
I will give it to you,
And I will give the land to your seed after you.”

13 Then (G)God went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him. 14 And Jacob set up (H)a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it. 15 So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, [d](I)Bethel.
