12And he dreamedH2492, and behold a ladderH5551 set upH5324 on the earthH776, and the top of itH7218 reachedH5060 to heavenH8064: and behold the angelsH4397 of GodH430 ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it. 13And, behold, YhwhH3068 stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am YhwhH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liestH7901, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233; 14And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.1 15And, behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee in all places whitherH834 thou goestH3212, and will bring thee againH7725 into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee, untilH834 I have doneH6213 that which I have spokenH1696 to thee of.

16And JacobH3290 awakedH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and he saidH559, SurelyH403 YhwhH3068 isH3426 in this placeH4725; and I knewH3045 it not.
