1 And Isaac called Yacob, 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 YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH gave
unto Abraham.
5 And Isaac sent away Yacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel
the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Yacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Yacob, 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 Yacob 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 Yacob 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 YAHUAH ascending and descending on
it.
13 And, behold, YAHUAH stood above it, and said, I [am] YAHUAH YAH of Abraham
thy father, and YAH 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 Yacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH, and this [is] the gate of heaven.
18 And Yacob 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 Yacob vowed a vow, saying, If YAHUAH 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 YAHUAH be my
YAH:
22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be YAHUAH's house: and
of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
