a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God
ascending and descending on it.
13
And, behold, the L
ORD
stood above it, and said, I
am
the L
ORD
God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give
it, and to thy seed;
14
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad
to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all
the families of the earth be blessed.
15
And, behold, I
am
with thee, and will keep thee in all
places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have
done
that
which I have spoken to thee of.
16
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the L
ORD
is in this place; and I knew
it
not.
17
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful
is
this place! this is none other but the house
of God, and this
is
the gate of heaven.
18
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone
that he had put
for
his pillows, and set it up
for
a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19
And
he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city
was called
Luz at the first.
20
And
Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and
will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21
So that I come again to my father’s house in
peace; then shall the L
ORD
be my God:
22
And this stone, which I have set
for
a pillar, shall be God’s
house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
CHAPTER 29
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2
And he looked,
and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there
were
three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that
well they watered the flocks: and a great stone
was
upon the well’s mouth.

the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and

him.

He
is
well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7
And he said, Lo,
it is
yet high
day, neither
is it
time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go
and
feed
them.
8
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and
till
they roll
the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.

sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s
