Genesis 28:16-19

16Then Jacob 1awoke from his sleep and said, “2The Lord is certainly in this place, and I did not know it!” 17And he was afraid and said, “3How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”

18So Jacob got up early in the morning, and took 4the stone that he had placed as a support for his head, and set it up as a memorial stone, and poured oil on its top. 19Then he named that place 56Bethel; but 7previously the name of the city had been 8Luz.
