Genesis 28:15

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.
