Genesis 28:12-17
12And he dreamedH2492, and beholdH2009 a ladderH5551 setH5324 upH5927 on the earthH776, and the topH7218 of it reachedH5060 to heavenH8064: and beholdH2009 the angelsH4397 of GodH430 ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it.
13And, beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 stoodH5324 aboveH5921 it, and saidH559, I am the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liest, to thee will I giveH5414 it, and to thy seedH2233;
14and thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spreadH6555 abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288.
15And, beholdH2009, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bringH7725 thee againH7725 intoH413 this landH127; for I will notH3808 leaveH5800 thee, untilH5704 I have doneH6213 that whichH834 I have spokenH1696 to thee of.
16And JacobH3290 awaked outH3045 of his sleepH8142, and he saidH559, SurelyH403 the LORDH3068 is in this placeH4725; and I knewH3045 it notH3808.
17And he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, HowH4100 dreadful is this placeH4725! this is noneH369 otherH2088 but the houseH1004 of GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.
