God Blesses and Renames Jacob

35 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to ^(A)Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you ^(B)when you fled from your brother Esau.”

⁶ And Jacob came to ^(A)Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him,

⁷ and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel,^[a] because ^(A)there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother.
