When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. He said,“ I am the Mighty God. Walk faithfully with me. Live in a way that pleases me.

I appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as the Mighty God. But I did not show them the full meaning of my name, The Lord.

At Peniel he struggled with the angel and won. Jacob wept and begged for his blessing. God also met with him at Bethel. He talked with him there.

Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz. Luz is also called Bethel. It’s in the land of Canaan.Jacob built an altar at Luz. He named the place El Bethel. There God made himself known to Jacob when he was running away from his brother.

It shone with the glory of God. It gleamed like a very valuable jewel. It was like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again. And God blessed him.God said to him,“ Your name is Jacob. But you will not be called Jacob anymore. Your name will be Israel.” So he named him Israel.God said to him,“ I am the Mighty God. Have children so that there will be many of you. You will become the father of a nation and a community of nations. Your later family will include kings.I am giving you the land I gave to Abraham and Isaac. I will also give it to your children after you.”

They sent men to Bethel to check it out. It used to be called Luz.

In a dream he saw a stairway standing on the earth. Its top reached to heaven. The angels of God were going up and coming down on it.The Lord stood beside the stairway. He said,“ I am the Lord. I am the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your children after you the land you are lying on.They will be like the dust of the earth that can’t be counted. They will spread out to the west and to the east. They will spread out to the north and to the south. All nations on earth will be blessed because of you and your children after you.I am with you. I will watch over you everywhere you go. And I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”Jacob woke up from his sleep. Then he thought,“ The Lord is surely in this place. And I didn’t even know it.”Jacob was afraid. He said,“ How holy this place is! This must be the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.”Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head. He set it up as a sacred stone. And he poured olive oil on top of it.He named that place Bethel. But the city used to be called Luz.

May the Mighty God bless you. May he give you children. May he make your family larger until you become a community of nations.
