4
So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
5
And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
6
So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
7
And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8
Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.
9
Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.
10
And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel.
11
Also God said to him: "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
12
The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land."
13
Then God went up from him in the place where He talked with him.
14
So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
