11 God also said to him:I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations,will come from you, and kings will descend from you.
12 I will give to you the landthat I gave to Abraham and Isaac. And I will give the landto your future descendants.
13 Then God withdrew from him at the place where He had spoken to him.
14 Jacob set up a marker at the place where He had spoken to him — a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.
15 Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
16 They set out from Bethel. When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.
17 During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have another son.”
