1 And Isaac * h3327 called * h7121 h8799 Jacob * h3290, and blessed * h1288 h8762 him, and charged * h6680 h8762 him, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, Thou shalt not take * h3947 h8799 a wife * h802 of the daughters * h1323 of Canaan * h3667.
2 Arise * h6965 h8798, go * h3212 h8798 to Padanaram * h6307, to the house * h1004 of Bethuel * h1328 thy mother's * h517 father * h1; and take * h3947 h8798 thee a wife * h802 from thence of the daughters * h1323 of Laban * h3837 thy mother's * h517 brother * h251.
3 And God * h410 Almighty * h7706 bless * h1288 h8762 thee, and make thee fruitful * h6509 h8686, and multiply * h7235 h8686 thee, that thou mayest be a multitude * h6951 of people * h5971; a multitude...: Heb. an assembly of people
4 And give * h5414 h8799 thee the blessing * h1293 of Abraham * h85, to thee, and to thy seed * h2233 with thee; that thou mayest inherit * h3423 h8800 the land * h776 wherein thou art a stranger * h4033, which God * h430 gave * h5414 h8804 unto Abraham * h85. wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings
5 And Isaac * h3327 sent away * h7971 h8799 Jacob * h3290: and he went * h3212 h8799 to Padanaram * h6307 unto 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 h8799 that Isaac * h3327 had blessed * h1288 h8765 Jacob * h3290, and sent him away * h7971 h8765 to Padanaram * h6307, to take * h3947 h8800 him a wife * h802 from thence; and that as he blessed * h1288 h8763 him he gave him a charge * h6680 h8762, saying * h559 h8800, Thou shalt not take * h3947 h8799 a wife * h802 of the daughters * h1323 of Canaan * h3667;
7 And that Jacob * h3290 obeyed * h8085 h8799 his father * h1 and his mother * h517, and was gone * h3212 h8799 to Padanaram * h6307;
8 And Esau * h6215 seeing * h7200 h8799 that the daughters * h1323 of Canaan * h3667 pleased * h5869 not * h7451 Isaac * h3327 his father * h1; pleased...: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc
9 Then went * h3212 h8799 Esau * h6215 unto Ishmael * h3458, and took * h3947 h8799 unto the wives * h802 which he had Mahalath * h4258 the daughter * h1323 of Ishmael * h3458 Abraham's * h85 son * h1121, the sister * h269 of Nebajoth * h5032, to be his wife * h802. Mahalath: or, Bashemath
10 And Jacob * h3290 went out * h3318 h8799 from Beersheba * h884, and went * h3212 h8799 toward Haran * h2771. Haran: Gr. Charran
11 And he lighted * h6293 h8799 upon a certain place * h4725, and tarried there all night * h3885 h8799, because the sun * h8121 was set * h935 h8804; and he took * h3947 h8799 of the stones * h68 of that place * h4725, and put * h7760 h8799 them for his pillows * h4763, and lay down * h7901 in that place * h4725 to sleep * h7901 h8799.
12 And he dreamed * h2492 h8799, and behold a ladder * h5551 set up * h5324 h8716 on the earth * h776, and the top of it * h7218 reached * h5060 h8688 to heaven * h8064: and behold the angels * h4397 of God * h430 ascending * h5927 h8802 and descending * h3381 h8802 on it.
13 And, behold, the LORD * h3068 stood * h5324 h8737 above it, and said * h559 h8799, I am the LORD * h3068 God * h430 of Abraham * h85 thy father * h1, and the God * h430 of Isaac * h3327: the land * h776 whereon thou liest * h7901 h8802, to thee will I give it * h5414 h8799, and to thy seed * h2233;
14 And thy seed * h2233 shall be as the dust * h6083 of the earth * h776, and thou shalt spread abroad * h6555 h8804 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 all the families * h4940 of the earth * h127 be blessed * h1288 h8738. spread...: Heb. break forth
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep * h8104 h8804 thee in all places whither * h834 thou goest * h3212 h8799, and will bring thee again * h7725 h8689 into this land * h127; for I will not leave * h5800 h8799 thee, until * h834 I have done * h6213 h8804 that which I have spoken * h1696 h8765 to thee of.
16 And Jacob * h3290 awaked * h3364 h8799 out of his sleep * h8142, and he said * h559 h8799, Surely * h403 the LORD * h3068 is * h3426 in this place * h4725; and I knew * h3045 h8804 it not.
17 And he was afraid * h3372 h8799, and said * h559 h8799, How dreadful * h3372 h8737 is this place * h4725! this is none other but the house * h1004 of God * h430, and this is the gate * h8179 of heaven * h8064.
18 And Jacob * h3290 rose up early * h7925 h8686 in the morning * h1242, and took * h3947 h8799 the stone * h68 that he had put * h7760 h8804 for his pillows * h4763, and set it up * h7760 h8799 for a pillar * h4676, and poured * h3332 h8799 oil * h8081 upon the top of it * h7218.
19 And he called * h7121 h8799 the name * h8034 of that place * h4725 Bethel * h1008: but * h199 the name * h8034 of that city * h5892 was called Luz * h3870 at the first * h7223. Bethel: that is, The house of God
20 And Jacob * h3290 vowed * h5087 h8799 a vow * h5088, saying * h559 h8800, If God * h430 will be with me, and will keep me * h8104 h8804 in this way * h1870 that I go * h1980 h8802, and will give * h5414 h8804 me bread * h3899 to eat * h398 h8800, and raiment * h899 to put on * h3847 h8800,
21 So that I come again * h7725 h8804 to my father's * h1 house * h1004 in peace * h7965; then shall the LORD * h3068 be my God * h430:
22 And this stone * h68, which I have set * h7760 h8804 for a pillar * h4676, shall be God's * h430 house * h1004: and of all that thou shalt give * h5414 h8799 me I will surely * h6237 h8763 give the tenth * h6237 h8762 unto thee.
