12 And he saw in a dream, Behold, a ladder stood on the earth, and the top of it touched the sky; and behold, the angels of God ascend and descend on it.

13 And behold, the Lord stood upon it, saying, 'I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; [Do not be afraid]. The land on which you lie I will give you and your descendants;

14 And thy descendants shall be as the sand of the earth; and you will spread to the sea, and to the east, and to the north, and to the noonday; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed;

15 And behold, I am with thee, and I will keep thee wherever thou goest; and I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have told you.

16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Truly the Lord is present in this place; And I didn't know!

17 And he was afraid, and said, 'How terrible is this place!' it is none other than the house of God, it is the gates of heaven.

18 And Jacob arose early in the morning, and took the stone which he had laid for his head, and set it up as a monument, and poured oil on the top of it.

19 And he called the name of the place Bethel, and the former name of the city was Luz.

20 And Jacob made a vow, saying, If God be with me, and keep me in this way in which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and clothes to be clothed,

21 And I will return in peace to my father's house, and the Lord shall be my God,

22 then this stone which I have set up as a monument shall be the house of God. and of all that You, O God, give me, I will give You a tenth.

Chapter 29

1 And Jacob arose, and went into the land of the children of the east.

2 And he saw, behold, there was a well in the field, and there were three flocks of flocks lying near it, for out of that well they were watering the flocks. Above the mouth of the well was a large stone.
