Genesis 28 — Context

And early in the morning Jacob took the stone which had been under his head, and put it up as a pillar and put oil on it.

And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz.

Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on,

So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God,

And this stone which I have put up for a pillar will be God's house: and of all you give me, I will give a tenth part to you.
