Berean Standard Bible

After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram,* God appeared to him again and blessed him.

Context

7There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel,* because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother. 8Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak * below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.* 9After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram,* God appeared to him again and blessed him. 10And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob,* you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.*” So God named him Israel. 11And God told him, “I am God Almighty.* Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
