Genesis 35:6-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him.

7. And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother.

8. At the same time Debora the nurse of Rebecca died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel under an oak: and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping.

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.
