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
.
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
.
And God Almighty
bless
thee, and make thee fruitful
, and multiply
thee, that thou mayest be a multitude
of people
;
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
.
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
.
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
;
And that Jacob obeyed
his father
and his mother
, and was gone
to Padanaram
;
And Esau seeing
that the daughters
of Canaan
pleased
not
Isaac
his father
;
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
.
And Jacob went out
from Beersheba
, and went
toward Haran
.
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
.
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 Abraham
thy father
, and the God
of Isaac
: the land
whereon 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 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.
And Jacob awaked
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 none other but the house
of God
, and this is the gate
of heaven
.
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
.
And he called the name
of that place
Bethel
: but
the name
of that city
was called Luz
at the first
.
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
,
So that I come again to my father's
house
in peace
; then shall the LORD
be my God
:
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.
