Jacob Is Renamed Israel
9 Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He (A)blessed him. 10 (B)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](C)God Almighty;
(D)Be fruitful and multiply;
A nation and an (E)assembly of nations shall [b]come from you,
And (F)kings shall [c]come forth from your loins.
12 (G)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 (H)God went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him. 14 And Jacob set up (I)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](J)Bethel.

God Appears Again to Jacob
9 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.
