4. So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods in their hand and the rings in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak tree near Shechem.
5. Then they journeyed, and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, so they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.
6. Then Jacob arrived at Luz in the land of Canaan (that is Beth-El), he and all the people who were with him.
7. He built an altar there and called the place El-Beth-El because God had revealed Himself to him there when he fled from the presence of his brother.
8. Then Rebekah’s nurse Deborah died, and was buried below Beth-El, under the oak—so it was named Oak of Weeping.
9. God appeared to Jacob again, after he returned from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.
10. God said to him: “Your name was Jacob. No longer will your name be Jacob, for your name will be Israel.” So He named him Israel.
11. God also said to him: “I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and an assembly of nations will come from you. From your loins will come forth kings.
12. The land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac— I give it to you, and to your seed after you I will give the land.”
13. Then God went up from him at the place where He had spoken with him.
14. Jacob set up a memorial stone in the place where He had spoken with him—a stone pillar—and he poured a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.
15. Jacob named the place where God spoke with him Beth-El.
