give to thee and to thy seed, and thy seed shall be as dust of the earth; thou shalt spread abroad unto the east and unto the west, and north and south, and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in thee and in thy seed.  And I shall be thy keeper wheresoever thou shalt go, and shall bring thee again into this land, and I shall not leave till I have accomplished all that I have said.  When Jacob was awaked from his sleep and dreaming, he said:  Verily God is in this place, and I wist not of it.  And he said dreadingly:  How terrible is this place, none other thing is here but the house of God and the gate of heaven.  Then Jacob arose early and took the stone that lay under his head, and raised it for witness, pouring oil thereon, and called the name of the place Bethel which tofore was called Luza.  And there he made a vow to our Lord, saying:  If God be with me and keep me in the way that I walk, and give me bread to eat, and clothes to cover me, and I may return prosperously into the house of my father, the Lord shall be my God, and this stone that I have raised in witness, this shall be called the house of God.  And the good of all things that thou givest to me, I shall offer to thee the tithes and tenth part.  Then Jacob went forth into the east, and saw a pit in a field and three flocks of sheep lying by it, for of that pit were the beasts watered.  And the mouth thereof was shut and closed with a great stone, for the custom was when all the sheep were gathered, they rolled away the stone, and when they had drunken they laid the stone again at the pit mouth.  And then he said to the shepherds:  Brethren, whence are ye?  Which answered:  Of Aran.  Then he asking them said:  Know ye not Laban, son of Nahor?  They said:  We know him well.  How fareth he, said he, is he all whole?  He fareth well, said they; and lo!  Rachel his daughter cometh there with her flock.  Then said Jacob:  It is yet far to even, it is yet time that the flocks be led to drink, and after be driven to pasture, which answered:  We may not so do till all the beasts be gathered, and then we remove the stone from the mouth of the pit and water our beasts.  And as they talked, Rachel came with the flock of her father, for she kept that time the beasts.  And when Jacob saw her and knew that she was his erne’s [uncle’s] daughter, and that they were his erne’s sheep, he removed the stone from the pit’s mouth, and when her sheep had drunken, he kissed her, and weeping he told her that he was brother to her father and son of Rebekah.  Then she hied her and told it to her father, which when he understood that Jacob, his sister’s son, was come, he ran against him and, embracing, kissed him, and led him into his house.  And when he had heard the cause of his journey he said:  Thou art my mouth and my flesh.
