Genesis 28:13-22

13And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the 1God of Abraham, thy father, and the 2God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. 14And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of. 16And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not. 17And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of 3God, and this is the gate of heaven. 18And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. 19And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first. 20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If 4God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on, 21and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my 5God. 22And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be 6God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
