He was afraid and said, “How terrifying is this place! This is none other than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.”

Jacob arose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head. He set it up as a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.

Then this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be a sacred stone. From everything that you give me, I will surely give a tenth back to you.”
