HaMakom - The Place™

And he went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bet-el, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bet-el and ῾Ay;

And he went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bet-el, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bet-el and ῾Ay; to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Avram called on the name of the Lord.

And the Lord said to Avram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thy eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

And Avraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Yiżĥaq his son, and broke up the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Avraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Avraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Yiżĥaq his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Avraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And an angel of the Lord called to him out of heaven, and said, Avraham, Avraham: and he said, Here I am. And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do anything to him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only son from me. And Avraham lifted up his eyes, and looked and behold behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns: and Avraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in place of his son. And Avraham called the name of that place Adonay-yir᾽e: as it is said to this day, In the mount the Lord will appear.

And he lighted on 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 under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. 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. And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Avraham thy father, and the God of Yiżĥaq: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 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. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places to which thou goest, and will bring thee back to this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. And Ya῾aqov awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is no other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. And Ya῾aqov rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. And he called the name of that place Bet-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at first.

And God went up from him in the place where He talked with him. And Ya῾aqov set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. And Ya῾aqov called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Bet-el.

Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I have prepared.

And Moshe said to Ḥovav, the son of Re῾u᾽el, the Midyanite, Moshe’s father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord has spoken good concerning Yisra᾽el.

But to the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, there shall you seek him, at his dwelling, and there shalt thou come:

then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; there shall you bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to the Lord:

If the place which the Lord thy God has chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the Lord has given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates to thy heart’s desire.

Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take and go to the place which the Lord shall choose:

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; because the place is too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God has blessed thee:

then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:

but only at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season when thou camest out of Miżrayim.

If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between plague and plague, matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and go up to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose;

and thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the Lord shall choose shall tell thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:

And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Yisra᾽el, where he sojourned, and come in all eagerness to the place which the Lord shall choose;

that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God gives thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.

and he brought us to this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
