9 God appeared again to Jacob after he had arrived from Paddan-aram and blessed him. 10 Then God told him, |Your name is Jacob. No longer are you to be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.| So God called his name Israel 11 and also told him, |I am God Almighty. You are to be fruitful and multiply. You will become a nation— in fact, an assembly of nations! Kings will come from you— they'll emerge from your own loins! 12 Now as for the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I'm giving it to you and to your descendants who come after you. I'm giving the land to you!| 13 After this, God ascended from the place where he had been speaking to him. Genesis 35:9-13, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
