God Blesses and Renames Jacob
1
God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to 1Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you 2when you fled from your brother Esau."
2
So Jacob said to his 3household and to all who were with him, "Put away 4the foreign gods that are among you and 5purify yourselves and change your garments.
3
Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God 6who answers me in the day of my distress and 7has been with me wherever I have gone."
4
So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under 8the terebinth tree that was near Shechem.
5
And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that were around them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
6
And Jacob came to 9Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him,
7
and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel,a because 10there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother.
8
And 11Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel. So he called its name Allon-bacuth.b
9
God appearedc to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
10
And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; 12no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but 13Israel shall be your name." So he called his name Israel.
11
And God said to him, 14"I am God Almighty:d be 15fruitful and multiply. 16A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.e
12
17The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you."
13
Then God 18went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.
14
And Jacob 19set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.
15
So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him 20Bethel.
