7 And he abuilt an altar there and called the place1 El Bethel, because bthere God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Now aDeborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called1 Allon Bachuth.
9 Then aGod appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and bblessed him.
10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; ayour name shall not be called Jacob anymore, bbut Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel.
11 Also God said to him: a“I am God Almighty. bBe fruitful and multiply; ca nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
12 The aland which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.”
13 Then God awent up from him in the place where He talked with him.
14 So Jacob aset up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, aBethel.
Death of Rachel
16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; ayou will have this son also.”
