Genesis 35:8-15

8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.

9Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.

10And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel.

11Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.

12The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”

13Then God went up from him in the place where He talked with him.

14So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.

15And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
