*
God appeared to Jacob again ,
when he came from Paddan-aram ,
and blessed him .
*
And God said to him , "
Your name is Jacob ;
no longer shall your name be called Jacob ,
but Israel shall be your name ."
So his name was called Israel .
*
And God said to him , "
I am God Almighty :
be fruitful and multiply ;
a nation and a company of nations shall come from you ,
and kings shall spring from you .
*
The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you ,
and I will give the land to your descendants after you ."
*
Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him .
*
And 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 .
*
So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him ,
Bethel .
