10Then JacobH3290 departedH3318 from 1BeershebaH884 and wentH1980 toward 2HaranH2771. 11He 3cameH6293 to 4a 5certain placeH4725 and spentH3885 the nightH3885 thereH8033, becauseH3588 the sunH8121 had setH935; and he tookH3947 one of the stonesH68 of the placeH4725 and putH7760 it 6under his headH4763, and layH7901 downH7901 in that placeH4725. 127He hadH2492 a dreamH2492, and beholdH2009, a ladderH5551 was setH5324 on the earthH776 with its topH7218 reachingH5060 to heavenH8064; and beholdH2009, 8the angelsH4397 of GodH430 were ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it. 13And beholdH2009, 9the LordH3068 stoodH5324 10aboveH5921 it and saidH559, “I am the LordH3068, 11the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327; the landH776 on whichH834 you lieH7901, I will giveH5414 it 12to you and to 13your 14descendantsH2233. 14Your 15descendantsH2233 will also be like 16the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and you will 17spreadH6555 out 18to the westH3220 and to the eastH6924 and to the northH6828 and to the southH5045; and 19in you and in your 20descendantsH2233 shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. 15BeholdH2009, 21I am with you and 22will keepH8104 you whereverH3605H834 you goH1980, and 23will bringH7725 you backH7725 to thisH2088 landH127; for 24I will not leaveH5800 you untilH5704H834 I have doneH6213 whatH834 I have 25promisedH1696 you.” 16Then JacobH3290 26awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142 and saidH559, “27SurelyH403 the LordH3068 is in thisH2088 placeH4725, and I did not knowH3045 it.” 17He was afraidH3372 and saidH559, “28HowH4100 awesomeH3372 is thisH2088 placeH4725! ThisH2088 is noneH369 otherH369 thanH3588H518 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and thisH2088 is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.”
