God Renews the Covenant and Renames Israel
Genesis 35:9-15
9
And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him,
10
Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel.
11
And said to him: I am God almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.
12
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
13
And he departed from him.
14
But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink-offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon:
15
And calling the name of that place Bethel.
