5. As they traveled, the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
6. So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
7. There he built an altar and called the place El Bethel, because God had appeared to him there when he fled from his brother.
8. Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried beneath Bethel under the oak. So it was called Allon Bakuth.
9. God appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Paddan Aram and blessed him.
10. God said to him, “Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be called Jacob any more, but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel.
11. God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings shall come forth from you.
12. The land that I gave Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.”
13. Then God went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.
14. Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it too.
15. So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
