Bereshis 28:18-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

18. And Ya'akov rose up early in the boker, and took haeven (the stone) that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a matzevah (pillar), and poured shemen upon the top of it.

19. And he called the shem of that place Beit-El; but the shem of that ir was called Luz at the first.

20. And Ya'akov vowed a neder (vow), saying, If Elohim will be with me, and will be shomer over me in this derech (way, journey) that I go, and will give me lechem to eat, and beged (clothes) to put on,

21. So that I return to bais avi in shalom; then shall Hashem be for me Elohim (my G-d).

22. And this even (stone), which I have set for a matzevah (pillar), shall be Beis Elohim: and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the aser (tenth) unto Thee.
