Genesis 35:10-12
Amplified Bible
10 Again God said to him,
“Your name is Jacob;
You shall no longer be called Jacob,
But Israel shall be your name.”
So he was called [a]Israel. 11 And God said to him,
“I am [b]God Almighty.
Be fruitful and multiply;
A nation and a company of nations shall come from you,
And kings shall be born of your [c]loins.
12
“The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac
I will give to you,
and to your descendants after you I will give the land.”
