New Testament

Genesis 35:6-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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. He built an altar there, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from his brother.

8. Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was named Allon-bacuth.

9. Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.

10. God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him Israel.

11. God also said to him, "I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth from you.
