Genesis 28:16-22
16Then Jacob woke up and thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it!”
17He was afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!”
18Early in the morning Jacob took the stone he had placed near his head and set it up as a sacred stone. Then he poured oil on top of it.
19He called that place Bethel, although the former name of the town was Luz.
20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God is with me and protects me on this journey I am taking and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,
21and I return safely to my father’s home, then the Lord will become my God.
22Then this stone that I have set up as a sacred stone will be the house of God, and I will surely give you back a tenth of everything you give me.”
