Genesis 28:16-22 ▼

16 And Jacob awakens out of his sleep and says, “Surely YHWH is in this place, and I did not know”;

17 and he fears and says, “How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.”

18 And Jacob rises early in the morning, and takes the stone which he has made his pillows, and makes it a standing pillar, and pours oil on its top,

19 and he calls the name of that place Bethel, [house of God,] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.

20 And Jacob vows a vow, saying, “Seeing God is with me, and has kept me in this way which I am going, and has given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on—

21 when I have turned back in peace to the house of my father, and YHWH has become my God,

22 then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that You give to me—tithing I tithe to You.”
