^13 (A)And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: ^(B)“I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; ^(C)the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.

¹⁵ for all the land which you see ^(A)I give to you and ^(B)your ^[a]descendants forever.

¹² The ^(A)land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”

³ Then Jacob said to Joseph: “God ^(A)Almighty appeared to me at ^(B)Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

²⁴ And the Lord ^(A)appeared to him the same night and said, ^(B)“I am the God of your father Abraham; ^(C)do not fear, for ^(D)I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham’s sake.”

^7 (A)Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ^(B)“To your ^[a]descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an ^(C)altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed ^(A)to be called their God, for He has ^(B)prepared a city for them.

^32 (A)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

Jacob’s Return to Bethel

35 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to ^(A)Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, ^(B)who appeared to you ^(C)when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
