28:14. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth: thou shalt spread
abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south:
and IN THEE and thy seed, all the tribes of the earth SHALL BE BLESSED.
28:15. And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring
thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have
accomplished all that I have said.
28:16. And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is
in this place, and I knew it not.
28:17. And trembling, he said: How terrible is this place? this is no
other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
28:18. And Jacob arising in the morning, took the stone which he had
laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top
of it.
28:19. And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was
called Luza.
Bethel... This name signifies the house of God.

keep me in the way, by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and
raiment to put on,
28:21. And I shall return prosperously to my father's house: the Lord
shall be my God:
28:22.
