Genesis 28:13-22
13Then beholdH2009, 1the LordH3068 was standingH5324 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 4to you and to 5your 6descendantsH2233. 14Your 7descendantsH2233 will also be like 8the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and you will 9spreadH6555 outH6555 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, “19The LordH3068 is certainlyH403 in thisH2088 placeH4725, and I did not knowH3045 it!” 17And he wasH3372 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 gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 21the stoneH68 that he had placedH7760 as a supportH4763 forH4763 his headH4763, and setH7760 it upH7760 as a memorialH4676 stoneH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 on its topH7218. 19Then he namedH7121H8034 that placeH4725 2223BethelH1008; butH199 24previouslyH7223 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 had been 25LuzH3870. 20JacobH3290 also 26madeH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, “27IfH518 GodH430 will be with me and will keepH8104 me on thisH2088 journeyH1870 that I 28takeH1980, and giveH5414 me 2930foodH3899 to eatH398 and garmentsH899 to wearH3847, 21and 31I returnH7725 to my father’sH1 houseH1004 in 32safetyH7965, 33then the LordH3068 will be my GodH430. 22And thisH2088 stoneH68, whichH834 I have setH7760 upH7760 as a memorialH4676 stoneH4676, 34will be God’sH430 houseH1004, and 35of everythingH3605 that You giveH5414 me I will assuredlyH6237 giveH6237 aH6237 tenthH6237 to You.”
