16. And Jacob awoke from his sleep and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it.
17. He was afraid and said, How to be feared and reverenced is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gateway to heaven!
18. And Jacob rose early in the morning and took the stone he had put under his head, and he set it up for a pillar (a monument to the vision in his dream), and he poured oil on its top [in dedication].
19. And he named that place Bethel [the house of God]; but the name of that city was Luz at first.
20. Then Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me food to eat and clothing to wear,
21. So that I may come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God;
22. And this stone which I have set up as a pillar (monument) shall be God's house [a sacred place to me], and of all [the increase of possessions] that You give me I will give the tenth to You.
