The Certainty of God's Promise
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, (A)he swore by himself, 14 saying, (B)“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham,[a] (C)having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes (D)an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to (E)the heirs of the promise (F)the unchangeable character of his purpose, (G)he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which (H)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope (I)set before us.

30 “Now when forty years had passed, (A)an angel appeared to him (B)in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. 31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and as he drew near to look, there came the voice of the Lord: 32 (C)‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and did not dare to look. 33 Then the Lord said to him, (D)‘Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. 34 (E)I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and (F)have heard their groaning, and (G)I have come down to deliver them. (H)And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
35 “This Moses, whom they rejected, (I)saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer (J)by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

Genesis 28:11-19
English Standard Version
11 And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he (A)dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder[a] set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, (B)the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13 And behold, (C)the Lord stood above it[b] and said, (D)“I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. (E)The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14 Your offspring shall be like (F)the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and (G)your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 Behold, (H)I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and (I)will bring you back to this land. For I will (J)not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is (K)in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
18 So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up (L)for a pillar (M)and poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called the name of that place (N)Bethel,[c] but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
