Genesis 28:16-22
16Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it."
17And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
18So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it.
19He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
21so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God,
22and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you."
