Genesis 28:18-22

18So JacobH3290 gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 1the 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 23BethelH1008; butH199 4previouslyH7223 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 had been 5LuzH3870.

20JacobH3290 also 6madeH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, “7IfH518 GodH430 will be with me and will keepH8104 me on thisH2088 journeyH1870 that I 8takeH1980, and giveH5414 me 910foodH3899 to eatH398 and garmentsH899 to wearH3847,

21and 11I returnH7725 to my father’sH1 houseH1004 in 12safetyH7965, 13then the LordH3068 will be my GodH430.

22And thisH2088 stoneH68, whichH834 I have setH7760 upH7760 as a memorialH4676 stoneH4676, 14will be God’sH430 houseH1004, and 15of everythingH3605 that You giveH5414 me I will assuredlyH6237 giveH6237 aH6237 tenthH6237 to You.”
