Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.
