Genesis 35:9-15

New American Standard Bible

Jacob Is Named Israel

⁹Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He ^(A)blessed him. ¹⁰^(B)God said to him,

“Your name is Jacob;
^[a]You shall no longer be called Jacob,
But Israel shall be your name.”

So He called ^[b]him Israel. ¹¹God also said to him,

“I am ^[c]^(C)God Almighty;
^(D)Be fruitful and multiply;
A nation and a ^(E)multitude of nations shall ^[d]come from you,
And ^(F)kings shall ^[e]come from ^[f]you.
¹²And ^(G)the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac,
I will give to you,
And I will give the land to your ^[g]descendants after you.”

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