Book 01 : GENESIS - Chapter 028
028:001
Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's
father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of
Laban thy mother's brother
028:002
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and
multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people
028:003
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
028:004
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto
Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah,
Jacob's and Esau's mother
028:005
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, 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 daughers of Canaan
028:006
And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone
to Padanaram
028:007
And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac
his father
028:008
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
028:009
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran
028:010
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
028:011
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
028:012
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
028:013
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
028:014
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
028:015
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the
LORD is in this place; and I knew it not
028:016
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
028:017
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
028:018
And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of
that city was called Luz at the first
028:019
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
028:020
So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall
the LORD be my God
028:021
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
