Genesis 28:13-22

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. 17And he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, How dreadfulH3372 is this placeH4725! this is none other but the houseH1004 of GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064. 18And JacobH3290 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 the stoneH68 that he had putH7760 for his pillowsH4763, and set it upH7760 for a pillarH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 upon the top of itH7218. 19And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 Beth–elH1008: butH199 the nameH8034 of that cityH5892 was called LuzH3870 at the firstH7223.2 20And JacobH3290 vowedH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, If GodH430 will be with me, and will keep meH8104 in this wayH1870 that I goH1980, and will giveH5414 me breadH3899 to eatH398, and raimentH899 to put onH3847, 21So that I come againH7725 to my father’sH1 houseH1004 in peaceH7965; And, behold, YhwhH3068 be my GodH430: 22And this stoneH68, which I have setH7760 for a pillarH4676, shall be God’sH430 houseH1004: and of all that thou shalt giveH5414 me I will surelyH6237 give the tenthH6237 unto thee.
