18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had put under his head. He set it up as a marker and poured olive oil on top of it.

19 He named that place Bethel [House of God]. Previously, the name of the city was Luz.

20 Then Jacob made a vow: |If God will be with me and will watch over me on my trip and give me food to eat and clothes to wear,

21 and if I return safely to my father's home, then the LORD will be my God.

22 This stone that I have set up as a marker will be the house of God, and I will surely give you a tenth of everything you give me.|
