5 When they set out, a terror from God came over the cities around them, and they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
6 So Jacob and all who were with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel ) in the land of Canaan.
7 Jacob built an altar there and called the place God of Bethel because it was there that God had revealed Himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
8 Deborah, the one who had nursed and raised Rebekah, died and was buried under the oak south of Bethel. So Jacob named it Oak of Weeping.
9 God appeared to Jacob again after he returned from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.
10 God said to him:Your name is Jacob;you will no longer be named Jacob,but your name will be Israel. So He named him Israel.
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.
