Genesis 35:9-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.

12. "The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, And I will give the land to your descendants after you."

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; he also poured oil on it.

15. So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.

16. Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor.

17. When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for now you have another son."
