13 Yahweh was standing there beside him,[a] saying, “I am Yahweh,(A) the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land that you are now sleeping on. 14 Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth,(B) and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.(C) 15 Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land,(D) for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

  1. Genesis 28:13 Or there above it

10 God said to him:

Your name is Jacob;
you will no longer be named Jacob,
but your name will be Israel.(A)

So He named him Israel. 11 God also said to him:

I am God Almighty.(B)
Be fruitful and multiply.(C)
A nation, indeed an assembly of nations,
will come from you,(D)
and kings will descend from you.[a](E)
12 I will give to you the land
that I gave to Abraham and Isaac.(F)
And I will give the land
to your future descendants.

13 Then God withdrew[b](G) from him at the place where He had spoken to him.

14 Jacob set up a marker at the place where He had spoken to him—a stone marker. He poured a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.(H) 15 Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
