1

So Isaach3327 calledh7121 Jacobh3290 and  ablessedh1288 him and chargedh6680 him, and saidh559 to him, " bYou shall not takeh3947 a wifeh802 from the daughtersh1323 of Canaanh3667a.

2

"Ariseh6965, goh1980 to Paddan-aramh6307, to the househ1004 of  aBethuelh1328a your mother'sh517 fatherh1; and from thereh8033 takeh3947 to yourself a wifeh802 from the daughtersh1323 of Labanh3837a your mother'sh517 brotherh251.

3

"May  1 aGodh410 Almightyh7706b  bblessh1288 you and  cmakeh6509 you fruitfulh6509 and  dmultiplyh7235a you, that you may becomeh1961 a  ecompanyh6951 of peoplesh5971a.

4

"May He also giveh5414 you the  ablessingh1293 of Abrahamh85, to you and to your  1descendantsh2233 with you, that you may  bpossessh3423 the landh776 of your  csojourningsh4033, whichh834 Godh430 gaveh5414 to Abrahamh85."

5

Then  aIsaach3327 senth7971 Jacobh3290 awayh7971, and he wenth1980 to Paddan-aramh6307 to Labanh3837a, sonh1121 of Bethuelh1328a the Arameanh761, the brotherh251 of Rebekahh7259, the motherh517 of Jacobh3290 and Esauh6215.

6

Now Esauh6215 sawh7200 that Isaach3327 had blessedh1288 Jacobh3290 and senth7971 him awayh7971 to Paddan-aramh6307 to takeh3947 to himself a wifeh802 from thereh8033, and that when he blessedh1288 him he chargedh6680 him, sayingh559, " aYou shall not takeh3947 a wifeh802 from the daughtersh1323 of Canaanh3667a,"

7

and that Jacobh3290 had obeyedh8085 his fatherh1 and his motherh517 and had goneh1980 to Paddan-aramh6307.

8

So Esauh6215 sawh7200 that  athe daughtersh1323 of Canaanh3667a displeasedh7451a  1his fatherh1 Isaach3327;

9

and Esauh6215 wenth1980 to Ishmaelh3458, and  1marriedh3947h802,  abesidesh5921 the wivesh802 that he had, Mahalathh4258 the daughterh1323 of Ishmaelh3458, Abraham'sh85 sonh1121, the sisterh269 of Nebaiothh5032.

10

Then Jacobh3290 departedh3318 from  aBeershebah884 and wenth1980 toward  bHaranh2771a.

11

He  1cameh6293 to  2a  acertain placeh4725 and spenth3885a the nighth3885a thereh8033, becauseh3588 the sunh8121 had seth935; and he tookh3947 one of the stonesh68 of the placeh4725 and puth7760 it  3under his headh4763, and layh7901 downh7901 in that placeh4725.

12

 aHe hadh2492b a dreamh2492b, and beholdh2009, a ladderh5551 was seth5324 on the earthh776 with its toph7218 reachingh5060 to heavenh8064; and beholdh2009,  bthe angelsh4397 of Godh430 were ascendingh5927 and descendingh3381 on it.

13

And beholdh2009,  athe LORDh3068 stoodh5324  1aboveh5921 it and saidh559, "I am the LORDh3068,  bthe Godh430 of your fatherh1 Abrahamh85 and the Godh430 of Isaach3327; the landh776 on whichh834 you lieh7901, I will giveh5414 it  cto you and to  dyour  2descendantsh2233.

14

"Your  1descendantsh2233 will also be like  athe dusth6083 of the earthh776, and you will  2spreadh6555 out  bto the westh3220 and to the easth6924b and to the northh6828 and to the southh5045; and  cin you and in your  1descendantsh2233 shall allh3605 the familiesh4940 of the earthh127 be blessedh1288.

15

"Beholdh2009,  aI am with you and  bwill keeph8104 you whereverh3605h834 you goh1980, and  cwill bringh7725 you backh7725 to thish2088 landh127; for  dI will not leaveh5800a you untilh5704h834 I have doneh6213a whath834 I have  1promisedh1696 you."

16

Then Jacobh3290  aawokeh3364 from his sleeph8142 and saidh559, " bSurelyh403 the LORDh3068 is in thish2088 placeh4725, and I did not knowh3045 it."

17

He was afraidh3372a and saidh559, " aHowh4100 awesomeh3372a is thish2088 placeh4725! Thish2088 is noneh369 otherh369 thanh3588h518 the househ1004 of Godh430, and thish2088 is the gateh8179 of heavenh8064."

18

So Jacobh3290 roseh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242, and tookh3947  athe stoneh68 that he had puth7760  1under his headh4763 and seth7760 it up as a pillarh4676 and pouredh3332 oilh8081 on its toph7218.

19

He calledh7121 the nameh8034 of that placeh4725  1 aBethelh1008; howeverh199,  2previouslyh7223 the nameh8034 of the cityh5892b had been  bLuzh3870.

20

Then Jacobh3290  amadeh5087 a vowh5088, sayingh559, " bIfh518 Godh430 will be with me and will keeph8104 me on thish2088 journeyh1870 that I  1takeh1980, and will giveh5414 me  2 cfoodh3899 to eath398 and garmentsh899b to wearh3847,

21

and  aI returnh7725 to my father'sh1 househ1004 in  1safetyh7965,  bthen the LORDh3068 will be my Godh430.

22

"Thish2088 stoneh68, whichh834 I have seth7760 up as a pillarh4676,  awill be God'sh430 househ1004, and  bof allh3605 that You giveh5414 me I will surelyh6237 giveh6237 a tenthh6237 to You."
