Genesis 28:17 in Context — Genesis 28
15 Voici, je suis avec toi, je te garderai partout où tu iras, et je te ramènerai dans ce pays; car je ne t’abandonnerai point, que je n’aie exécuté ce que je te dis.
16 Jacob s’éveilla de son sommeil et il dit: Certainement, l’Éternel est en ce lieu, et moi, je ne le savais pas!
17 Il eut peur, et dit: Que ce lieu est redoutable! C’est ici la maison de Dieu, c’est ici la porte des cieux!
18 Et Jacob se leva de bon matin; il prit la pierre dont il avait fait son chevet, il la dressa pour monument, et il versa de l’huile sur son sommet.
19 Il donna à ce lieu le nom de Béthel; mais la ville s’appelait auparavant Luz.
