Genesis 35:9-15

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

10And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name." So he called his name Israel.

11And God 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 from your own body.

12The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you."

13Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.

14And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.

15So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
