16 When Jacob woke up he said to himself, “The Lord is right here, in this place, and I didn't realize it!”17 He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.”

18 When Jacob got up in the morning he took the stone he'd put under his head and set it upright as a stone pillar and poured some olive oil on it.19 He named the place “Bethel,” (previously it was called Luz).20 Jacob also made a solemn promise, saying, “God, if you will be with me, and take care of me on my journey, and give me food to eat and clothes to wear21 so I can return safely to my father's home, then you Lord will be my God.22 This stone pillar that I've set up will be the house of God, and I will give you one tenth of all you give me.”
