9 When Jacob returned from Mesopotamia, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

11 And God said to him, “I am Almighty God. Have many children. Nations will be descended from you, and you will be the ancestor of kings.
12 I will give you the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, and I will also give it to your descendants after you.”
13 Then God left him.
