Genesis 28:16-22
16Then JacobH3290 1awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142 and saidH559, “2The LordH3068 is certainlyH403 in thisH2088 placeH4725, and I did not knowH3045 it!” 17And he wasH3372 afraidH3372 and saidH559, “3HowH4100 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 4the 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 56BethelH1008; butH199 7previouslyH7223 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 had been 8LuzH3870. 20JacobH3290 also 9madeH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, “10IfH518 GodH430 will be with me and will keepH8104 me on thisH2088 journeyH1870 that I 11takeH1980, and giveH5414 me 1213foodH3899 to eatH398 and garmentsH899 to wearH3847, 21and 14I returnH7725 to my father’sH1 houseH1004 in 15safetyH7965, 16then the LordH3068 will be my GodH430. 22And thisH2088 stoneH68, whichH834 I have setH7760 upH7760 as a memorialH4676 stoneH4676, 17will be God’sH430 houseH1004, and 18of everythingH3605 that You giveH5414 me I will assuredlyH6237 giveH6237 aH6237 tenthH6237 to You.”
