[1] Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. [2] Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. [3] May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples, [4] and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.” [5] Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother. [6] Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;” [7] and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram. [8] Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father. [9] So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife. [10] Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. [11] He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. [12] He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. [13] Behold, Yahweh stood above it, and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring. [14] Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed. [15] Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.” [16] Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I didn’t know it.” [17] He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.” [18] Jacob 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 its top. [19] He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first. [20] 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 clothing to put on, [21] so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yahweh will be my God, [22] then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”

His Flight and Vision

[1] And Isaac H3327 called H7121 H413 Jacob, H3290 and blessed H1288 him, H853 and charged him, H6680 and said H559 unto him, Thou shalt H3947 not H3808 take H3947 a wife H802 of the daughters H1323 of Canaan. H3667 [2] Arise, H6965 go H3212 to Padan-aram, H6307 H6307 to the house H1004 of Bethuel H1328 thy mother’s H517 father; H1 and take H3947 thee a wife H802 from thence H8033 of the daughters H1323 of Laban H3837 thy mother’s H517 brother. H251 [3] And God H410 Almighty H7706 bless H1288 thee, H853 and make thee fruitful, H6509 and multiply thee, H7235 that thou mayest be H1961 a multitude H6951§ of people; H5971 [4] and give H5414 thee H853 the blessing H1293 of Abraham, H85 to thee, and to thy seed H2233 with thee; H854 that thou mayest inherit H3423 H853 the land H776 wherein thou art a stranger, H4033 which H834 God H430 gave H5414 unto Abraham. H85 [5] And Isaac H3327 sent away H7971 H853 Jacob: H3290 and he went H3212 to Padan-aram H6307 H6307 unto H413 Laban, H3837 son H1121 of Bethuel H1328 the Syrian, H761 the brother H251 of Rebekah, H7259 Jacob’s H3290 and Esau’s H6215 mother. H517 [6] When Esau H6215 saw H7200 that H3588 Isaac H3327 had blessed H1288 H853 Jacob, H3290 and sent H7971 him H853 away H7971 to Padan-aram, H6307 H6307 to take H3947 him a wife H802 from thence; H8033 and that as he blessed H1288 him H853 he gave H6680 him H5921 a charge, H6680 saying, H559 Thou shalt H3947 not H3808 take H3947 a wife H802 of the daughters H1323 of Canaan; H3667 [7] and that Jacob H3290 obeyed H8085 H413 his father H1 and H413 his mother, H517 and was gone H3212 to Padan-aram; H6307 H6307 [8] and Esau H6215 seeing H7200 that H3588 the daughters H1323 of Canaan H3667 pleased not H7451§ H5869 Isaac H3327 his father; H1 [9] then went H3212 Esau H6215 unto H413 Ishmael, H3458 and took H3947 unto H5921 the wives H802 which he had H853 Mahalath H4258 the daughter H1323 of Ishmael H3458 Abraham’s H85 son, H1121 the sister H269 of Nebajoth, H5032 to be his wife. H802 [10] And Jacob H3290 went out H3318 from Beer-sheba, H884 and went H3212 toward Haran. H2771 [11] And he lighted H6293 upon a certain place, H4725 and tarried H3885 there H8033 all night, H3885 because H3588 the sun H8121 was set; H935 and he took H3947 of the stones H68 of that place, H4725 and put H7760 them for his pillows, H4763 and lay down H7901 in that H1931 place H4725 to sleep. [12] And he dreamed, H2492 and behold H2009 a ladder H5551 set up H5324 on the earth, H776 and the top of it H7218 reached H5060 to heaven: H8064 and behold H2009 the angels H4397 of God H430 ascending H5927 and descending H3381 on it. [13] And, behold, H2009 the Lord H3068 stood H5324 above it, H5921 and said, H559 I H589 am the Lord H3068 God H430 of Abraham H85 thy father, H1 and the God H430 of Isaac: H3327 the land H776 whereon H834 H5921 thou H859 liest, H7901 to thee will I give it, H5414 and to thy seed; H2233 [14] and thy seed H2233 shall be H1961 as the dust H6083 of the earth, H776 and thou shalt spread abroad H6555§ to the west, H3220 and to the east, H6924 and to the north, H6828 and to the south: H5045 and in thee and in thy seed H2233 shall H1288 all H3605 the families H4940 of the earth H127 be blessed. H1288 [15] And, behold, H2009 I H595 am with thee, H5973 and will keep thee H8104 in all H3605 places whither H834 thou goest, H3212 and will bring thee again H7725 into H413 this H2063 land; H127 for H3588 I will H5800 not H3808 leave thee, H5800 until H5704 H834 H518 I have done H6213 H853 that which H834 I have spoken H1696 to thee of. [16] And Jacob H3290 awaked H3364 out of his sleep, H8142 and he said, H559 Surely H403 the Lord H3068 is H3426 in this H2088 place; H4725 and I H595 knew H3045 it not. H3808 [17] And he was afraid, H3372 and said, H559 How H4100 dreadful H3372 is this H2088 place! H4725 this H2088 is none H369 other but H3588 H518 the house H1004 of God, H430 and this H2088 is the gate H8179 of heaven. H8064

Beth-el

[18] And Jacob H3290 rose up early H7925 in the morning, H1242 and took H3947 H853 the stone H68 that H834 he had put H7760 for his pillows, H4763 and set H7760 it H853 up H7760 for a pillar, H4676 and poured H3332 oil H8081 upon H5921 the top of it. H7218 [19] And he called H7121 H853 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 Beth-el: H1008ⓘ H1008 but H199 the name H8034 of that city H5892 was called Luz H3870 at the first. H7223 [20] And Jacob H3290 vowed H5087 a vow, H5088 saying, H559 If H518 God H430 will be H1961 with me, H5978 and will keep me H8104 in this H2088 way H1870 that H834 I H595 go, H1980 and will give H5414 me bread H3899 to eat, H398 and raiment H899 to put on, H3847 [21] so that I come again H7725 to H413 my father’s H1 house H1004 in peace; H7965 then shall H1961 the Lord H3068 be H1961 my God: H430 [22] and this H2063 stone, H68 which H834 I have set H7760 for a pillar, H4676 shall be H1961 God’s H430 house: H1004 and of all H3605 that H834 thou shalt give H5414 me I will surely H6237 give the tenth H6237 unto thee.
