Genesis 28:10-22 - Jacob's Dream

¹⁰ Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran, ¹¹ and came unto a place and tarried there all night, because the son was down. And took a stone of the place, and put it under his head, and laid him down in the same place to sleep. ¹² And he dreamed: and behold there stood a ladder upon the earth, and the top of it reached up to heaven. And see, the angels of God went up and down upon it. ¹³ Yea, and the LORD stood upon it and said, "I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac: The land which thou sleepest upon will I give thee and thy seed. ¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: And thou shalt spread abroad: west, east, north and south. And through thee and thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵ And see, I am with thee, and will be thy keeper in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land: Neither will I leave thee; until I have made good all that I have promised thee."

¹⁶ When Jacob was awaked out of his sleep, he said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware." ¹⁷ And he was afraid, and said, "How fearful is this place? It is none other, but even the house of God and the gate of heaven!"

¹⁸ And Jacob stood up early in the morning and took the stone that he had laid under his head, and pitched it up on end, and poured oil on the top of it. ¹⁹ And he called the name of the place Bethel, for indeed the name of the city was called Luz before time. ²⁰ And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will keep me in this journey which I go and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to put on, ²¹ so that I come again unto my father's house in safety: then shall the LORD be my God, ²² and this stone which I have set up on end, shall be God's house. And of all that thou shalt give me, will I give the tenth unto thee."
