God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him. 10 God said to him:

Your name is Jacob;
you will no longer be named Jacob,
but your name will be Israel.(A)

So He named him Israel. 11 God also said to him:

I am God Almighty.(B)
Be fruitful and multiply.(C)
A nation, indeed an assembly of nations,
will come from you,(D)
and kings will descend from you.[a](E)
12 I will give to you the land
that I gave to Abraham and Isaac.(F)
And I will give the land
to your future descendants.

13 Then God withdrew[b](G) from him at the place where He had spoken to him.

14 Jacob set up a marker at the place where He had spoken to him—a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.(H) 15 Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

God Appears Again to Jacob

God appeared again to Jacob after he had arrived from Paddan-aram[a] and blessed him. 10 Then God told him,

“Your name is Jacob.
    No longer are you to be called Jacob.
        Instead, your name will be Israel.”

So God called his name Israel 11 and also told him,

“I am God Almighty.
    You are to be fruitful
        and multiply.
You will become a nation—
    in fact, an assembly of nations!
Kings will come from you—
    they’ll emerge from your own loins!
12 Now as for the land
    that I gave to Abraham and Isaac,
I’m giving it to you
    and to your descendants who come after you.
I’m giving the land to you!”

13 After this, God ascended from the place where he had been speaking to him. 14 Jacob erected a pillar of stone at that very place where God had spoken to him. He poured a drink offering over it, anointed it with oil, 15 and named the place where God had spoken to him Beth-el.
