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 Padan-aram to the house of Bethuel thy other’s father and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy other’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 Padan-aram 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 Padan-aram 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 Padan-aram
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 raham’s son the sister of Nebajoth to be his wife
10
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba 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 Beth-el 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 ather’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
