Darby Bible

1And IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290, and blessedH1288 him, and charged him, and saidH559 to him, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667. 2AriseH6965, go to Padan-Aram, to the houseH1004 of BethuelH1328 thy mother's fatherH1, and takeH3947 a wifeH802 thence of the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837 thy mother's brotherH251. 3And the AlmightyH7706 1GodH410 blessH1288 thee, and makeH6509 thee fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest becomeH1961 a companyH6951 of peoplesH5971. 4And may he giveH5414 thee the blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to thee and to thy seedH2233 with thee, in order that thou mayest possessH3423 the landH776 of thy sojourning, which 2GodH430 gaveH5414 to AbrahamH85! 5And IsaacH3327 sentH7971 awayH7971 JacobH3290; and he went to Padan-Aram, to LabanH3837 the sonH1121 of BethuelH1328 the Syrian, the brotherH251 of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's motherH517. 6And EsauH6215 sawH7200 that IsaacH3327 had blessedH1288 JacobH3290, and sentH7971 him awayH7971 to Padan-Aram, to takeH3947 a wifeH802 thence, blessingH1288 him, and giving him a charge sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667; 7and [that] JacobH3290 had obeyed his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and was gone to Padan-Aram. 8And EsauH6215 sawH7200 that the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667 were evilH7451 in the sight of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1. 9And EsauH6215 went to IshmaelH3458, and tookH3947, besides the wivesH802 that he had, MahalathH4258 the daughterH1323 of IshmaelH3458 Abraham's sonH1121, the sisterH269 of NebaiothH5032, to be his wifeH802. 10And JacobH3290 wentH3318 out from Beer-sheba, and wentH3318 towards HaranH2771. 11And he lighted on a certain placeH4725, and lodged there, because the sunH8121 had setH7760. And he tookH3947 [one] of the stonesH68 of the placeH4725, and madeH7760 [it] his pillow, and layH7901 downH7901 in that placeH4725. 12And he dreamedH2492, and behold, a ladder was setH5324 up on the earthH776, and the topH7218 of it reachedH5060 to the heavensH8064. And behold, angelsH4397 of 3GodH430 ascended and descended upon it. 13And behold, Jehovah stoodH5324 above it. And he saidH559, I am Jehovah, the 4GodH430 of AbrahamH85, thy fatherH1, and the 5GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 on which thou liest, to thee will I giveH5414 it, and to thy seedH2233. 14And thy seedH2233 shall beH1961 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spreadH6555 abroad to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045; and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 beH1961 blessedH1288. 15And behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bringH7725 thee again into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee until I have done what I have spokenH1696 to thee of. 16And JacobH3290 awokeH3364 from his sleepH8142, and saidH559, Surely Jehovah is in this placeH4725, and I knewH3045 [it] not. 17And he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, HowH4100 dreadful is this placeH4725! this is none other but the houseH1004 of 6GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064. 18And JacobH3290 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 the stoneH68 that he had madeH7760 his pillow, and setH7760 it up [for] a pillarH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 on the topH7218 of it. 19And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 Beth-el; but the nameH8034 of that cityH5892 was LuzH3870 at the firstH7223. 20And JacobH3290 vowedH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, If 7GodH430 will beH1961 with me, and keepH8104 me on this roadH1870 that I goH1980, and will giveH5414 me breadH3899 to eatH398, and a garmentH899 to putH5414 on, 21and I come again to my father's houseH1004 in peaceH7965 — then shall Jehovah beH1961 my 8GodH430. 22And this stoneH68, which I have setH7760 up [for] a pillarH4676, shall beH1961 9God's houseH1004; and of all that thou wilt giveH5414 me I will without fail giveH5414 the tenthH6237 to thee.
