Genesis 28:18-22 New Living Translation (NLT)

18. The next morning Jacob got up very early. He took the stone he had rested his head against, and he set it upright as a memorial pillar. Then he poured olive oil over it.

19. He named that place Bethel (which means “house of God”), although it was previously called Luz.

20. Then Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing,

21. and if I return safely to my father’s home, then the lord will certainly be my God.

22. And this memorial pillar I have set up will become a place for worshiping God, and I will present to God a tenth of everything he gives me.”
