* And Isaac called Jacob Ya #aqob #, and blessed him , and charged him , and said unto him , Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan K @na #an #. * Arise , go to Padanaram , to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father ; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother . * And God Almighty bless thee , and make thee fruitful , and multiply thee , that thou mayest be a multitude of people ; * 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 . * And Isaac sent away Jacob Ya #aqob #: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban , son of Bethuel the Syrian , the brother of Rebekah , Jacobs and Esaus mother . * When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob Ya #aqob #, 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 K @na #an #; * And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother , and was gone to Padanaram ; * And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father ; * Then went Esau unto Ishmael Yishma #e #l #, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Yishma #e #l # Abrahams son , the sister of Nebajoth , to be his wife . * And Jacob went out from Beersheba B @#er , and went toward Haran . * 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 m @ra #ashah #, and lay down # in that place to sleep . * 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 . * 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 ; * 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 . * 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 . * And Jacob awaked out of his sleep , and he said , Surely the LORD 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 the house of God , and this is the gate of heaven . * And Jacob rose up early in the morning , and took the stone that he had put for his pillows m @ra #ashah #, and set it up for a pillar , and poured oil upon the top of it ro #sh #. * And he called the name of that place Bethel Beyth -#El #: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first ri #shown #. * And Jacob vowed a vow , 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 , * So that I come again to my fathers house in peace ; then shall the LORD be my God : * And this stone , which I have set for a pillar , shall be Gods house : and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee .
