Jacob Vows to God
Genesis 28:16-22
16
Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
17
And he was afraid, and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
18
Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon the top of it.
19
And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
20
Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on:
21
So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord be my God.
22
And this stone, which I haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
