Thematic Bible: To jacob


Thematic Bible



Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said, Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel. And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring; read more.
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land. Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him. And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil. And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.
