Compare all
12 Then he adreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there bthe angels of God were ascending and descending on it.  
13 aAnd behold, the Lord stood above it and said: b“I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; cthe land on which you lie I will give to you and your ddescendants.  
14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad ato the west and the east, to the north and the south; and bin you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.  
15 Behold, aI am with you and will bkeep you wherever you go, and will cbring you back to this land; for dI will not leave you euntil I have done what I have spoken to you.”  
16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in athis 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 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, aset it up as a pillar, band poured oil on top of it.  
19 And he called the name of athat place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.  
20 aThen Jacob made a vow, saying, “If bGod will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me cbread to eat and clothing to put on,  
21 so that aI come back to my father’s house in peace, bthen the Lord shall be my God.  
22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar ashall be God’s house, band of all that You give me I will surely give a1 tenth to You.”

Genesis 28:14

Thy seed shall be as the dust - The people that shall descend from thee shall be extremely numerous, and in thee and thy seed - the Lord Jesus descending from thee, according to the flesh, shall all the families of the earth - not only all of thy race, but all the other families or tribes of mankind which have not proceeded from any branch of the Abrahamic family, be blessed; for Jesus Christ by the grace of God tasted death For Every Man, Hebrews 2:9.
