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.  ‡

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.  ‡
