¹³and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, ‘I am Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed; ¹⁴and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.

¹⁵‘And lo, I am with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.’

¹⁶And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, ‘Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;’ ¹⁷and he feareth, and saith, ‘How fearful is this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.’ ¹⁸And Jacob riseth early in the morning, and taketh the stone which he hath made his pillows, and maketh it a standing pillar, and poureth oil upon its top, ¹⁹and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, house of God, and yet, Luz is the name of the city at the first.
