Genesis 28:16-22

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.”

¹⁷ And he was afraid and said, “How fearsome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”

¹⁸ And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.

¹⁹ And he called the name of that place Bethel [that is, The house of God]; but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

²⁰ And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on,

²¹ so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then shall the Lord be my God.

²² And this stone which I have set for a pillar shall be God’s house; and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give a tenth unto Thee.”
