3731. Verses 20-22 And Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and guard me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, and I come back in peace to my father's house, then Jehovah will be my God. And this stone which I have placed as a pillar will be God's house; and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.

'Jacob made a vow, saying' means a state of Providence. 'If God will be with me, and guard me on this road on which I am walking' means the ever-present Divine. 'And will give me bread to eat' means even to the point of being joined to Divine Good. 'And clothing to wear' means being joined to Divine Truth. 'And I come back in peace to my father's house' means even to the point of perfect union. 'Then Jehovah will be my God' means that the Divine Natural also is Jehovah. 'And this stone which I have placed as a pillar' means truth as it exists in the ultimate degree. 'Will be God's house' means here, as previously, the Lord's kingdom as it exists in the ultimate degree of order where higher things are accommodated as in their own house. 'And of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth' means that by His own Divine power He made every single thing Divine.
