Genesis 35:9-15 - Jacob's Sixth Encounter With God - His Name Changed To Israel

9 God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram. He blessed him. 10 God said to him: Your name is Jacob. You shall no longer be called Jacob. Israel shall be your name. Thus He called him Israel. 11 God also said: I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and an assembly of nations will come from you. Kings shall come forth from you. 12 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you. I will give the land to your descendants after you.

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

14 So Jacob set up a memorial, a stone marker, to mark the place where God had spoken with him. He poured a wine offering and olive oil on it. 15 Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel (House of God).
