Genesis 28:13-22

13And beholdH2009, 1the LordH3068 stoodH5324 2aboveH5921 it and saidH559, “I am the LordH3068, 3the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327; the landH776 on whichH834 you lieH7901, I will giveH5414 it 4to you and to 5your 6descendantsH2233. 14Your 7descendantsH2233 will also be like 8the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and you will 9spreadH6555 out 10to the westH3220 and to the eastH6924 and to the northH6828 and to the southH5045; and 11in you and in your 12descendantsH2233 shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. 15BeholdH2009, 13I am with you and 14will keepH8104 you whereverH3605H834 you goH1980, and 15will bringH7725 you backH7725 to thisH2088 landH127; for 16I will not leaveH5800 you untilH5704H834 I have doneH6213 whatH834 I have 17promisedH1696 you.” 16Then JacobH3290 18awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142 and saidH559, “19SurelyH403 the LordH3068 is in thisH2088 placeH4725, and I did not knowH3045 it.” 17He was afraidH3372 and saidH559, “20HowH4100 awesomeH3372 is thisH2088 placeH4725! ThisH2088 is noneH369 otherH369 thanH3588H518 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and thisH2088 is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.”

18So JacobH3290 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 21the stoneH68 that he had putH7760 22under his headH4763 and setH7760 it up as a pillarH4676 and pouredH3332 oilH8081 on its topH7218. 19He calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 2324BethelH1008; howeverH199, 25previouslyH7223 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 had been 26LuzH3870. 20Then JacobH3290 27madeH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, “28IfH518 GodH430 will be with me and will keepH8104 me on thisH2088 journeyH1870 that I 29takeH1980, and will giveH5414 me 3031foodH3899 to eatH398 and garmentsH899 to wearH3847, 21and 32I returnH7725 to my father’sH1 houseH1004 in 33safetyH7965, 34then the LordH3068 will be my GodH430. 22ThisH2088 stoneH68, whichH834 I have setH7760 up as a pillarH4676, 35will be God’sH430 houseH1004, and 36of allH3605 that You giveH5414 me I will surelyH6237 giveH6237 a tenthH6237 to You.”
