Genesis 28:11-15
11He 1cameH6293 to 2a 3certain placeH4725 and spentH3885 the nightH3885 thereH8033, becauseH3588 the sunH8121 had setH935; and he tookH3947 one of the stonesH68 of the placeH4725 and putH7760 it 4under his headH4763, and layH7901 downH7901 in that placeH4725.
125He hadH2492 a dreamH2492, and beholdH2009, a ladderH5551 was setH5324 on the earthH776 with its topH7218 reachingH5060 to heavenH8064; and beholdH2009, 6the angelsH4397 of GodH430 were ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it.
13And beholdH2009, 7the LordH3068 stoodH5324 8aboveH5921 it and saidH559, “I am the LordH3068, 9the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327; the landH776 on whichH834 you lieH7901, I will giveH5414 it 10to you and to 11your 12descendantsH2233.
14Your 13descendantsH2233 will also be like 14the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and you will 15spreadH6555 out 16to the westH3220 and to the eastH6924 and to the northH6828 and to the southH5045; and 17in you and in your 18descendantsH2233 shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
15BeholdH2009, 19I am with you and 20will keepH8104 you whereverH3605H834 you goH1980, and 21will bringH7725 you backH7725 to thisH2088 landH127; for 22I will not leaveH5800 you untilH5704H834 I have doneH6213 whatH834 I have 23promisedH1696 you.”
