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.”
