Genesis 28:12-15
12And 1he hadH2492 aH2492 dreamH2492, and beholdH2009, a ladderH5551 was setH5324 upH5324 on the earthH776 with its topH7218 reachingH5060 to heavenH8064; and beholdH2009, 2the angelsH4397 of GodH430 were ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it.
13Then beholdH2009, 3the LordH3068 was standingH5324 4aboveH5921 it and saidH559, “I am the LordH3068, 5the GodH430 of your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327; the landH776 on whichH834 you lieH7901 I will giveH5414 6to you and to 7your 8descendantsH2233.
14Your 9descendantsH2233 will also be like 10the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and you will 11spreadH6555 outH6555 12to the westH3220 and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828 and to the southH5045; and 13in you and in your 14descendantsH2233 shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
15BeholdH2009, 15I am with you and 16will keepH8104 you whereverH3605H834 you goH1980, and 17will bringH7725 you backH7725 to thisH2088 landH127; for 18I will not leaveH5800 you untilH5704H834 I have doneH6213 whatH834 I have 19promisedH1696 you.”
