Genesis 28:17-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

17. Then he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is nothing else than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”

18. And Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up as a stone pillar, and poured oil on top of it.

19. And he called the name of that place Bethel; however, the name of the city was formerly Luz.

20. And Jacob made a vow saying, “If God will be with me and protect me on this way that I am going, and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,

21. and if I return in peace to the house of my father, then Yahweh will become my God.

22. And this stone that I have set up as a pillar shall be the house of God, and of all that you give to me I will certainly give a tenth to you.”
