Genesis 28:10-19
Jacob’s Dream
10 Jacob left aBeersheba and went toward bHaran. 11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he adreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, bthe angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold, athe Lord stood above it and said, b“I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. cThe land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14 Your offspring shall be like athe dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and byour offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, aI am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and bwill bring you back to this land. For I will cnot leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is ain this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up afor a pillar band poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called the name of that place aBethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
