New King James Version

Genesis 35:5-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

6. So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7. And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

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

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

10. And 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.

11. Also 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.

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