Jacob Vows to God
Genesis 28:16-22
16
When Jacob woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it.”
17
And 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!”
18
Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone that he had placed under his head, and he set it up as a pillar. He poured oil on top of it,
19
and he called that place Bethel, though previously the city had been named Luz.
20
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and watch over me on this journey, and if He will provide me with food to eat and clothes to wear,
21
so that I may return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God.
22
And this stone I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
