Book 01 : TORAH - BERESHIT (GENESIS) - Chapter 028

28:001

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

28:002

Arise, go to Paddan-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

28:003

And G-d Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a congregation of peoples

28:004

and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which G-d gave unto Abraham.

28:005

And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother

28:006

Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-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'

28:007

and that Jacob hearkened to his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram

28:008

and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father

28:009

so Esau went unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives that he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife

28:010

And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran

28:011

And he lighted upon the place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep

28:012

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 G-d ascending and descending on it

28:013

And, behold, HaShem stood beside him, and said: 'I am HaShem, the G-d of Abraham thy father, and the G-d of Isaac. The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed

28:014

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

28:015

And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

28:016

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: 'Surely HaShem is in this place; and I knew it not.

28:017

And he was afraid, and said: 'How full of awe is this place! this is none other than the house of G-d, and this is the gate of heaven.

28:018

And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it

28:019

And he called the name of that place Beth-el, but the name of the city was Luz at the first

28:020

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying: 'If G-d 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

28:021

so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then shall HaShem be my G-d

28:022

and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be G-d's house; and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee.
