Genesis 28:10-17

10And JacobH3290 wentH3318 out from Beer-sheba, and wentH3318 towards HaranH2771.

11And he lighted on a certain placeH4725, and lodged there, because the sunH8121 had setH7760. And he tookH3947 [one] of the stonesH68 of the placeH4725, and madeH7760 [it] his pillow, and layH7901 downH7901 in that placeH4725.

12And he dreamedH2492, and behold, a ladder was setH5324 up on the earthH776, and the topH7218 of it reachedH5060 to the heavensH8064. And behold, angelsH4397 of 1GodH430 ascended and descended upon it.

13And behold, Jehovah stoodH5324 above it. And he saidH559, I am Jehovah, the 2GodH430 of AbrahamH85, thy fatherH1, and the 3GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 on which 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 in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bringH7725 thee again into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee until I have done what I have spokenH1696 to thee of.

16And JacobH3290 awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142, and 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 but the houseH1004 of 4GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.
