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 Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
And God Almighty [El Shaddai] bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company of peoples.
And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.
And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take him a wife 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 Padan-Aram.
And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father.
And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, unto the wives which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
And he lighted on the place, and lodged there, because the sun was set. And he took of the stones of the place, and made his pillows, and lay down in that place.
And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set up on earth, and its top reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
And behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac: the land on which 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 break forth 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 till I have done that of which I have spoken to thee.
And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah 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 God’s house, and this the gate of the heavens.
And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he made his pillows, and set it [for] a pillar and poured oil upon its top.
And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city was Luz at first.
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and give me bread to eat and raiment to put on,
and I come again in peace to my father’s house, then shall Jehovah be for God to me.
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.
