Genesis 28:18-22

New Century Version

¹⁸ Jacob rose early in the morning and took the stone he had slept on and set it up on its end. Then he poured olive oil on the top of it. ¹⁹ At first, the name of that city was Luz, but Jacob named it Bethel.^[a]

²⁰ Then Jacob made a promise. He said, “I want God to be with me and to protect me on this journey. I want him to give me food to eat and clothes to wear ²¹ so I will be able to return in peace to my father’s house. If the Lord does these things, he will be my God. ²² This stone which I have set up on its end will be the house of God. And I will give God one-tenth of all he gives me.”
