《圣经》（新旧约全书）

北回归线

到了一个地方，因为太阳落了，就在那里住宿，便拾起那地方的一块石头枕在头下，在那里躺卧睡了，

And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep

北回归线

梦见一个梯子立在地上，梯子的头顶着天，有神的使者在梯子上，上去下来。

And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it

耶和华站在梯子以上（或作站在他旁边），说，我是耶和华你祖亚伯拉罕的神，也是以撒的神。我要将你现在所躺卧之地赐给你和你的后裔。

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 whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed

北回归线

你的后裔必像地上的尘沙那样多，必向东西南北开展。地上万族必因你和你的后裔得福。

And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad 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 families of the earth be blessed

我也与你同在。你无论往哪里去，我必保佑你，领你归回这地，总不离弃你，直到我成全了向你所应许的。

And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of

雅各睡醒了，说，耶和华真在这里，我竟不知道。

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not

就惧怕，说，这地方何等可畏，这不是别的，乃是神的殿，也是天的门。

And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven

北回归线

雅各清早起来，把所枕的石头立作柱子，浇油在上面。

And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it

北回归线

他就给那地方起名叫伯特利（就是神殿的意思）。但那地方起先名叫路斯。

And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first

北回归线

雅各许愿说，神若与我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又给我食物吃，衣服穿，

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on
