God Renews the Covenant and Renames Israel
Genesis 35:9-15
9
After Ya'akov arrived from Paddan-Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
10
God said to him, "Your name is Ya'akov, but you will be called Ya'akov no longer; your name will be Isra'el."Thus he named him Isra'el.
11
God further said to him, "I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed a group of nations, will come from you; kings will be descended from you.
12
Moreover, the land which I gave to Avraham and Yitz'chak I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you."
13
Then God went up from him there where he had spoken with him.
14
Ya'akov set up a standing-stone in the place where he had spoken with him, a stone pillar. Then he poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.
15
Ya'akov called the place where God spoke with him Beit-El.
