Bible verse for August 7

¹³ And there was Yahweh, standing above it, and he said, “I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land you are lying on I will give to you and to your offspring. ¹⁴ Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. ¹⁵ I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” ¹⁶ Then Jacob woke up from his sleep and said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.” ¹⁷ He was afraid and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” ¹⁸ Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had put under his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. ¹⁹ He named that place Bethel, though the city had been called Luz before that.
