11And coming to a certain place, he made it his resting-place for the night, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones which were there, and putting it under his head he went to sleep in that place.
12And he had a dream, and in his dream he saw steps stretching from earth to heaven, and the angels of God were going up and down on them.
13And he saw the Lord by his side, saying, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: I will give to you and to your seed this land on which you are sleeping.
14Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
15And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land; and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you.
16And Jacob, awaking from his sleep, said, Truly, the Lord is in this place and I was not conscious of it.
17And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place; this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven.
