Genesis 28:16-22 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

16. And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;'

17. and he feareth, and saith, `How fearful [is] this place; this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the heavens.'

18. And 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,

19. and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, [house of God,] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first.

20. And Jacob voweth a vow, saying, `Seeing God is with me, and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on--

21. when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my father, and Jehovah hath become my God,

22. then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me--tithing I tithe to Thee.'
