Genesis 28:11-18

11And he lighted upon a certain placeH4725, and tarried there all night, because the sunH8121 was setH7760; and he tookH3947 one of the stonesH68 of the placeH4725, and putH7760 it under his headH4763, and layH7901 downH7901 in that placeH4725 to sleep. 12And he dreamedH2492; and behold, a ladder setH5324 up on the earthH776, and the topH7218 of it reachedH5060 to heavenH8064; and behold, the angelsH4397 of GodH430 ascending and descending on it. 13And, behold, Jehovah stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am Jehovah, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liest, to thee will I giveH5414 it, and to thy seedH2233; 14and thy seedH2233 shall beH1961 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spreadH6555 abroad to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 beH1961 blessedH1288. 15And, behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bringH7725 thee again into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee, until I have done that which I have spokenH1696 to thee of. 16And JacobH3290 awaked out of his sleepH8142, and he saidH559, Surely Jehovah is in this placeH4725; and I knewH3045 it not. 17And he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, HowH4100 dreadful is this placeH4725! this is none other than the houseH1004 of GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.

18And JacobH3290 roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 the stoneH68 that he had putH7760 under his headH7218, and setH7760 it up for a pillarH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 upon the topH7218 of it.
