God Appears Again to Jacob

God appeared again to Jacob after he had arrived from Paddan-aram[a] 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!
