Genesis 28
28:1And Isaac having called Jacob, blessed him, and gave charge to him, saying, Not shall you take a wife from the daughters of the Canaanites.
28:2Having risen up, you run away unto Mesopotamia to the house of Bethuel the father of your mother! and take to yourself from there a wife from the daughters of Laban the brother of your mother!
28:3And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you; and you will be for gatherings of nations.
28:4And may he give to you the blessing of Abraham, my father, to you, and your seed after you; to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraham.
28:5And Isaac sent Jacob. And he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
28:6And Esau having seen that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria to take to himself a wife from there -- in the blessing him, and gave charge to him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Canaanites,
28:7that Jacob hearkened to his father and mother, and went into Mesopotamia of Syria,
28:8and seeing, even Esau, that the daughters of Canaan are wicked before Isaac his father,
28:9that Esau went to Ishmael, and he took Mahalath daughter of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, sister of Nebajoth, to his wives, as a wife.
28:10And Jacob went forth from the Well of the Oath, and went into Haran.
28:11And he encountered a place, and slept there, for the sun went down. And he took from one of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and went to sleep in that place.
28:12And he dreamed. And behold, there was a stairway being supported by the earth, of which the top arrived in the heaven. And the angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
28:13And the lord stayed upon it. And he said, I am the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. Do not fear! The land of which you sleep upon it, to you I will give it, and to your seed.
28:14And your seed will be as sand of the earth. And it will be widened unto the west, and south, and north, and unto the east. And shall be blessed by you all the tribes of the earth, and by your seed.
28:15And behold, I am with you, guarding you in every way of which ever you may go. And I will return you to this land, for no way would I abandon you until my doing all as much as I spoke to you.
28:16And Jacob awoke from out of his sleep. And he said that, The lord is in this place, but I had not known it.
28:17And he feared, and said, How fearful this place. Is not this none other than the house of God, and this the gate of heaven.
28:18And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone which he placed there at his head. And he set it as a monument, and poured oil upon the top of it.
28:19And he called the name of that place, House of God, and Lam-luz was the name to the city formerly.
28:20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the lord God should be with me, and should guard me in this journey which I go, and should give to me bread to eat, and a cloak to put on,
28:21and will return me with safety unto the house of my father, and the lord will be to me for God,
28:22and this stone which I set as a monument, will be to me a house of God. And all, what ever, you should give to me, I will tithe a tenth of it to you.
