Genesis 28:13-17
28:13 and the
Lord stood at its top. He said, “I am the
Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac.
I will give you and your descendants the ground
you are lying on.
28:14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth,
and you will spread out
to the west, east, north, and south. All the families of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another
using your name and that of your descendants.
28:15 I am with you!
I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you!”
28:16 Then Jacob woke up and thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it!”
28:17 He was afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!”
