When Esau, enraged for losing the birthright blessing, sought to kill Jacob, Rebekah sent Jacob to Haran, in Paddan-~~aram~~, to her father’s house. She gave the excuse to Isaac that Jacob could not marry a Canaanite woman.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+27%3A41-47&version=NIV |title=Genesis 27:41–47|quote= }}</ref> Isaac then blessed Jacob and instructed him to seek a wife from the daughters of his uncle Laban (Rebekah’s brother), rather than from among the Canaanites. On the journey to Haran, at a place called Luz, Jacob slept with a stone for his pillow. In his dream, he saw a ladder reaching up to heaven with [[Angel|angels]] ascending and descending on it. God, who was above the ladder, blessed Jacob.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+28%3A1-15&version=NIV |title=Genesis 28:1–15|quote= }}</ref> When Jacob awoke, he set up the stone he had used as a pillow as a pillar, and named the place [[Bethel]], meaning “House of God.” Jacob thanked God for His blessing and made a vow that if God brought him back to his homeland, he would make the stone pillar a house of God and would give a tenth ([[tithe]]) of all that God gives him.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+28%3A18-22&version=NIV |title=Genesis 28:18–22 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>
