10.
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and
went toward Haran.
11.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and
tarried there all night, because the sun
was set; and he took of the stones of
that place, and put them for his
pillows, and lay down in that place to
sleep.
12.
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set
up on the earth, and the top of it
reached to heaven: and behold the angels
of God ascending and descending on it.
13.
And, behold, the LORD stood above it,
and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham
thy father, and the God of Isaac: the
land whereon thou liest, to thee will I
give it, and to thy seed;
14.
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the
earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to
the west, and to the east, and to the
north, and to the south: and in thee and
in thy seed shall all the families of
the earth be blessed.
15.
And, behold, I am with thee, and will
keep thee in all places whither thou
goest, and will bring thee again into
this land; for I will not leave thee,
until I have done that which I have
spoken to thee of.
16.
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and
he said, Surely the LORD is in this
place; and I knew it not.
17.
And he was afraid, and said, How
dreadful is this place! this is none
other but the house of God, and this is
the gate of heaven.
18.
And Jacob rose up early in the morning,
and took the stone that he had put for
his pillows, and set it up for a pillar,
and poured oil upon the top of it.
19.
And he called the name of that place
Bethel: but the name of that city was
called Luz at the first.
20.
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God
will be with me, and will keep me in
this way that I go, and will give me
bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21.
So that I come again to my father's
house in peace; then shall the LORD be
my God:
22.
And this stone, which I have set for a
pillar, shall be God's house: and of all
that thou shalt give me I will surely
give the tenth unto thee
