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.
