⁹ God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and he blessed him.^{(A) 10} God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall you be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he was called Israel.^{(B) 11} God said to him, “I am God Almighty:^[a] be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall spring from you.^{(C) 12} The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.”^{(D) 13} Then God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.^{(E) 14} Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.^{(F) 15} So Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.^(G)
