Genesis 28:13-22
New American Standard Bible
13 Then behold, (A)the Lord was standing [a]above it and said, “I am the Lord, (B)the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give (C)to you and to (D)your [b]descendants. 14 Your [c]descendants will also be like (E)the dust of the earth, and you will [d]spread out (F)to the west and to the east, and to the north and to the south; and (G)in you and in your [e]descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, (H)I am with you and (I)will keep you wherever you go, and (J)will bring you back to this land; for (K)I will not leave you until I have done what I have [f]promised you.” 16 Then Jacob (L)awoke from his sleep and said, “(M)The Lord is certainly in this place, and I did not know it!” 17 And he was afraid and said, “(N)How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”
18 So Jacob got up early in the morning, and took (O)the stone that he had placed as a support for his head, and set it up as a memorial stone, and poured oil on its top. 19 Then he named that place [g](P)Bethel; but [h]previously the name of the city had been (Q)Luz. 20 Jacob also (R)made a vow, saying, “(S)If God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I [i]take, and give me [j](T)food to eat and garments to wear, 21 and (U)I return to my father’s house in [k]safety, (V)then the Lord will be my God. 22 And this stone, which I have set up as a memorial stone, (W)will be God’s house, and (X)of everything that You give me I will assuredly give a tenth to You.”

New International Version
13 There above it[a] stood the Lord,(A) and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.(B) I will give you and your descendants the land(C) on which you are lying.(D) 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you(E) will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.(F) All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[b](G) 15 I am with you(H) and will watch over you(I) wherever you go,(J) and I will bring you back to this land.(K) I will not leave you(L) until I have done what I have promised you.(M)”(N)
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep,(O) 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!(P) This is none other than the house of God;(Q) this is the gate of heaven.”
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head(R) and set it up as a pillar(S) and poured oil on top of it.(T) 19 He called that place Bethel,[c](U) though the city used to be called Luz.(V)
20 Then Jacob made a vow,(W) saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me(X) on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear(Y) 21 so that I return safely(Z) to my father’s household,(AA) then the Lord[d] will be my God(AB) 22 and[e] this stone that I have set up as a pillar(AC) will be God’s house,(AD) and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.(AE)”

Jacob Is Named Israel
9 Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He (A)blessed him. 10 (B)God said to him,
“Your name is Jacob;
[a]You shall no longer be called Jacob,
But Israel shall be your name.”
So He called [b]him Israel. 11 God also said to him,
“I am [c](C)God Almighty;
(D)Be fruitful and multiply;
A nation and a (E)multitude of nations shall [d]come from you,
And (F)kings shall [e]come from [f]you.
12 And (G)the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac,
I will give to you,
And I will give the land to your [g]descendants after you.”
