6 Thus Jacob and all the people who were with him arrived in Luz (now Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
7 There he built an altar and called the place El-Bethel, for it was there that God had revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
8 Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died. She was buried under the oak below Bethel, and so it was named Allon-bacuth.
9 On Jacob’s arrival from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
10 God said to him:Your name is Jacob.You will no longer be named Jacob,but Israel will be your name.So he was named Israel.
11 Then God said to him: I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will stem from you, and kings will issue from your loins.
12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you; and to your descendants after you I will give the land.
