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.

Genesis 28:15

And, behold, I am with thee - For I fill the heavens and the earth. "My Word shall be thy help." - Targum. And will keep thee in all places, ͅ ̔ͅ ͅ , in all this way - Septuagint. I shall direct, help, and support thee in a peculiar manner, in thy present journey, be with thee while thou sojournest with thy uncle, and will bring thee again into this land; so that in all thy concerns thou mayest consider thyself under my especial providence, for I will not leave thee. Thy descendants also shall be my peculiar people, whom I shall continue to preserve as such until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of - until the Messiah shall be born of thy race, and all the families of the earth - the Gentiles, be blessed through thee; the Gospel being preached to them, and they, with the believing Jews, made One Fold under One Shepherd, and one Bishop or Overseer of souls. And this circumstantial promise has been literally and punctually fulfilled.
