Genesis 28:11–17

¹¹And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. ¹²And he ^odreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold ^pthe angels of God ascending and descending on it. ^13qAnd, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, ^rI am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: ^sthe land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; ¹⁴And ^tthy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt ^†spread abroad ^uto the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and ^xin thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵And, behold, ^yI am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will ^zbring thee again into this land; for I ^awill not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. ¹⁶And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in ^bthis place; and I knew it not. ¹⁷And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
