16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did not know it. 17 And Jacob was exceedingly fearful, and he said, How sacred is this place today! 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 which he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. 19 Then Jacob called the name of that place Beth-el (the house of God); but at the first the name of that place was called Luz. 20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me and will protect me in this way that I go, and will give me food to eat and clothing to wear 21 So that I may return to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God; 22 And this stone which I have set up for a pillar shall be God's house and of all that thou shalt give me I will give the tenth to thee.
