Genesis 35:6-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

6. So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same is Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him.

7. And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8. And Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth.

9. And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

10. And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

11. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

12. and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

13. And God went up from him in the place where he spake with him.

14. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spake with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.

15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.

16. And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
