Genesis 28:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 (A)And behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land, upon the which thou sleepest, [a]will I give thee and thy seed.
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad (B)to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the South, and in thee and in thy seed shall all the (C)families of the earth be blessed.
15 And lo, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land: for I will not forsake thee until I have performed that, that I have promised thee.
