Genesis 28:13-19

13 Then behold, ^athe Lord was standing ^{▼▼Or beside him}above it and said, “I am the Lord, ^cthe God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give ^dto you and to ^eyour ^{▼▼Lit seed}descendants. 14 Your ^{▼▼Lit seed}descendants will also be like ^hthe dust of the earth, and you will ^{▼▼Lit break through}spread out ^jto the west and to the east, and to the north and to the south; and ^kin you and in your ^{▼▼Lit seed}descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, ^mI am with you and ⁿwill keep you wherever you go, and ^owill bring you back to this land; for ^pI will not leave you until I have done what I have ^{▼▼Lit spoken to}promised you.” 16 Then Jacob ^rawoke from his sleep and said, “ ^sThe Lord is certainly in this place, and I did not know it!” 17 And he was afraid and said, “ ^tHow awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”

18 So Jacob got up early in the morning, and took ^uthe stone that he had placed as a support for his head, and set it up as a memorial stone, and poured oil on its top. 19 Then he named that place ^{▼▼I.e., the house of God
,} ^wBethel; but ^{▼▼Lit at the first}previously the name of the city had been ^yLuz.
