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. 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. 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruit­ful, and mul­ti­ply thee, that thou mayest be a mul­ti­tude of peo­ple; 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. 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. 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; 7 And that Ja­cob obeyed his fa­ther and his moth­er, and was gone to Pada­naram; 8 And Esau see­ing that the daugh­ters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his fa­ther; 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. 10 And Ja­cob went out from Beer­she­ba, and went to­ward Ha­ran. 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. 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. 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; 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. 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. 16 And Ja­cob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Sure­ly the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 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. 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. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 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, 21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 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.
