Genesis. Scala Iacob.
Douay-Rheims translation
28:10 But Jacob being departed from Bersabee, went on to Haran.
28:11 And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after
sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head,
slept in the same place.
28:12 And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top
thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by
it;
28:13 And the Lord leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: I am the Lord God
of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac; the land, wherein thou sleepest,
I will give to thee and to thy seed.
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.
28:20 And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall 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 And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall called the house
of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes
to thee.
