Genesis 28:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Then Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If [a]God will be with me, and will keep me in this journey which I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to put on:
21 So that I come again unto my father’s house in safety, then shall the Lord be my God.
22 And this stone, which I have set up as a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me, will I give the tenth unto thee.
