Genesis 28:16-22

16When JacobH3290 woke upH3364H8142, he saidH559, “SurelyH403 the LORDH3068 isH3426 in thisH2088 placeH4725, and IH595 was unaware of itH3808H3045.” 17And he was afraidH3372 and saidH559, “HowH4100 awesomeH3372 is thisH2088 placeH4725! ThisH2088 is noneH369 other thanH3588H518 the houseH1004 of GodH430; thisH2088 is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064!”

18EarlyH7925 the next morningH1242, JacobH3290 tookH3947 the stoneH68 thatH834 he had placedH7760 under his headH4763, and he set it upH7760 as a pillarH4676. He pouredH3332 oilH8081 onH5921 top of itH7218, 19and he calledH7121 thatH1931 placeH4725 BethelH1008,1 thoughH199 previouslyH7223 the cityH5892 had been namedH8034 LuzH3870.

20Then JacobH3290 madeH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, “IfH518 GodH430 will beH1961 with meH5978 and watch over meH8104 on thisH2088 journeyH1870, and if He will provideH5414 me with foodH3899 to eatH398 and clothesH899 to wearH3847, 21so that I may returnH7725 safelyH7965 toH413 my father’sH1 houseH1004, then the LORDH3068 will beH1961 my GodH430. 22And thisH2063 stoneH68 I have set upH7760 as a pillarH4676 will beH1961 God’sH430 houseH1004, and of allH3605 thatH834 You giveH5414 me I will surely give You a tenthH6237.”
