Genesis 28:20 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 28.

16 When Jacob woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it.”

17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven!”

18 Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone that he had placed under his head, and he set it up as a pillar. He poured oil on top of it,

19 and he called that place Bethel, though previously the city had been named Luz.

20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and watch over me on this journey, and if He will provide me with food to eat and clothes to wear,

21 so that I may return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God.

22 And this stone I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
