And they departed. And the fear of God
fell upon the cities that were round about them, that they durst
not follow after the sons of Iacob. So came Iacob to Lus in the
land of Canaan, otherwise called Bethel, with all the people that
was with him. And he builded there an altar, and called the place
Elbethel: because that God {|the LORDe|} appeared unto him there,
when he fled from his brother. Then died Debora Rebecca's nurse,
and was buried beneath Bethel under an oak. And the name of it was
called the oak of lamentation. And God appeared unto Iacob again
after he came out of Mesopotamia, and blessed him and said unto
him: Thy name is Iacob. Notwithstanding thou shalt be no more
called Iacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And so was his name
called Israel. And God said unto him: I am God allmighty, grow and
multiply: for people and a multitude of people shall spring of
thee, yea and kings shall come out of thy loins. And the land
which I gave Abraham and Isaac, will I give unto thee, and unto
thy seed after thee will I give it also. And God departed from him
in the place where he talked with him. And Iacob set up a mark in
the place where he talked with him: even a pillar of stone, and
poured drink offering thereon and poured also oil thereon, and
called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
