16 When Iacob was awaked out of his sleepe, he sayde: Surely the Lorde is in this place, and I knewe it not. 17 And he was a frayde, and saide: howe dreadefull is this place? it is none other but euen the house of God, & it is the gate of heauen. 18 And Iacob rose vp early in the mornyng, and toke the stone that he hadde layed vnder his head, and pitched it vpon an ende, and powred oyle in the toppe of it. 19 And he called the name of the place Bethel: but the name of the citie was called Luz, before tyme. 20 And Iacob vowed a vowe, saying: Yf God wyll be with me, and wyll kepe me in this iourney in which I go, and wyll geue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on: 21 So that I come agayne vnto my fathers house in saftie: then shal the Lord be my God. 22 And this stone whiche I haue set vp on an ende, shalbe Gods house: and of all that thou shalt geue me, I wyl surely geue the tenth vnto thee.
