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.
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.
