GE-28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged
him, and
said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of
Canaan.
GE-28:2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy
mother's
father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of
Laban thy
mother's brother.
GE-28:3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and
multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
GE-28:4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to
thy
seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou
art a
stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
GE-28:5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto
Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah,
Jacob's and
Esau's mother.
GE-28:6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent
him away
to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he
blessed
him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of
the
daughters of Canaan;
GE-28:7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and
was gone
to Padanaram;
GE-28:8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not
Isaac his father;
GE-28:9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives
which he
had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of
Nebajoth, to be his wife.
GE-28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward
Haran.
GE-28:11 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.
GE-28:12 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.
GE-28:13 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;
GE-28:14 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.
GE-28:15 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.
GE-28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely
the
LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not.
GE-28:17 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.
GE-28:18 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.
GE-28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the
name of
that city [was called] Luz at the first.
GE-28:20 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,
GE-28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace;
then
shall the LORD be my God:
GE-28:22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall
be
God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely
give the
tenth unto thee.
