Genesis 28: 13-17
13 There beside him stood the LORD, and he said: “I am the LORD, the God of your father
Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are
lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west
and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you
and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you
back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 When
Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware
of it.” 17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house
of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
