{28:1} 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.
{28:2} Arise, go to Padan-aram, 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.
{28:3} And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
{28:4} 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.
{28:5} 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.
{28:6} 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;
{28:7} And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
{28:8} And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
{28:9} 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.
{28:10} And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
{28:11} 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.
{28:12} 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.
{28:13} 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;
{28:14} 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.
{28:15} 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.
{28:16} And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not.
{28:17} 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.
{28:18} 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.
{28:19} And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city [was called] Luz at the first.
{28:20} And Jacob vowed avow, 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,
{28:21} So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
{28:22} 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.
