Jacob Is Renamed Israel
9 Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He ablessed him. 10 aAnd God said to him,
“Your name is Jacob;
Your name shall no longer be called Jacob,
But Israel shall be your name.”
Thus He called his name Israel. 11 God also said to him,
“I am aGod Almighty;
bBe fruitful and multiply;
A nation and an cassembly of nations shall come from you,
And dkings shall come forth from your loins.
12 aAnd the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac,
I will give it to you,
And I will give the land to your seed after you.”
13 Then aGod went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.
