28:1 And Isaac 3327 called 7121 8799 Jacob 3290, and blessed 1288 8762 him, and charged 6680 8762 him, and said 559 8799 unto him, Thou shalt not take 3947 8799 a wife 802 of the daughters 1323 of Canaan 3667.

28:2 Arise 6965 8798, go 3212 8798 to Padanaram 6307, to the house 1004 of Bethuel 1328 thy mother's 517 father 1; and take 3947 8798 thee a wife 802 from thence of the daughters 1323 of Laban 3837 thy mother's 517 brother 251.

28:3 And God 410 Almighty 7706 bless 1288 8762 thee, and make thee fruitful 6509 8686, and multiply 7235 8686 thee, that thou mayest be a multitude 6951 of people 5971;(a multitude…: Heb. an assembly of people)

28:4 And give 5414 8799 thee the blessing 1293 of Abraham 85, to thee, and to thy seed 2233 with thee; that thou mayest inherit 3423 8800 the land 776 wherein thou art a stranger 4033, which God 430 gave 5414 8804 unto Abraham 85.(wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings)

28:5 And Isaac 3327 sent away 7971 8799 Jacob 3290: and he went 3212 8799 to Padanaram 6307 unto Laban 3837, son 1121 of Bethuel 1328 the Syrian 761, the brother 251 of Rebekah 7259, Jacob's 3290 and Esau's 6215 mother 517.

28:6 When Esau 6215 saw 7200 8799 that Isaac 3327 had blessed 1288 8765 Jacob 3290, and sent him away 7971 8765 to Padanaram 6307, to take 3947 8800 him a wife 802 from thence; and that as he blessed 1288 8763 him he gave him a charge 6680 8762, saying 559 8800, Thou shalt not take 3947 8799 a wife 802 of the daughters 1323 of Canaan 3667;

28:7 And that Jacob 3290 obeyed 8085 8799 his father 1 and his mother 517, and was gone 3212 8799 to Padanaram 6307;

28:8 And Esau 6215 seeing 7200 8799 that the daughters 1323 of Canaan 3667 pleased 5869 not 7451 Isaac 3327 his father 1;(pleased…: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc)

28:9 Then went 3212 8799 Esau 6215 unto Ishmael 3458, and took 3947 8799 unto the wives 802 which he had Mahalath 4258 the daughter 1323 of Ishmael 3458 Abraham's 85 son 1121, the sister 269 of Nebajoth 5032, to be his wife 802.(Mahalath: or, Bashemath)

28:10 And Jacob 3290 went out 3318 8799 from Beersheba 884, and went 3212 8799 toward Haran 2771.(Haran: Gr. Charran)

28:11 And he lighted 6293 8799 upon a certain place 4725, and tarried there all night 3885 8799, because the sun 8121 was set 935 8804; and he took 3947 8799 of the stones 68 of that place 4725, and put 7760 8799 [them for] his pillows 4763, and lay down 7901 0 in that place 4725 to sleep 7901 8799.

28:12 And he dreamed 2492 8799, and behold a ladder 5551 set up 5324 8716 on the earth 776, and the top of it 7218 reached 5060 8688 to heaven 8064: and behold the angels 4397 of God 430 ascending 5927 8802 and descending 3381 8802 on it.

28:13 And, behold, the LORD 3068 stood 5324 8737 above it, and said 559 8799, I [am] the LORD 3068 God 430 of Abraham 85 thy father 1, and the God 430 of Isaac 3327: the land 776 whereon thou liest 7901 8802, to thee will I give it 5414 8799, and to thy seed 2233;

28:14 And thy seed 2233 shall be as the dust 6083 of the earth 776, and thou shalt spread abroad 6555 8804 to the west 3220, and to the east 6924, and to the north 6828, and to the south 5045: and in thee and in thy seed 2233 shall all the families 4940 of the earth 127 be blessed 1288 8738.(spread…: Heb. break forth)

28:15 And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep 8104 8804 thee in all [places] whither 834 thou goest 3212 8799, and will bring thee again 7725 8689 into this land 127; for I will not leave 5800 8799 thee, until 834 I have done 6213 8804 [that] which I have spoken 1696 8765 to thee of.

28:16 And Jacob 3290 awaked 3364 8799 out of his sleep 8142, and he said 559 8799, Surely 403 the LORD 3068 is 3426 in this place 4725; and I knew 3045 8804 [it] not.

28:17 And he was afraid 3372 8799, and said 559 8799, How dreadful 3372 8737 [is] this place 4725! this [is] none other but the house 1004 of God 430, and this [is] the gate 8179 of heaven 8064.

28:18 And Jacob 3290 rose up early 7925 8686 in the morning 1242, and took 3947 8799 the stone 68 that he had put 7760 8804 [for] his pillows 4763, and set it up 7760 8799 [for] a pillar 4676, and poured 3332 8799 oil 8081 upon the top of it 7218.

28:19 And he called 7121 8799 the name 8034 of that place 4725 Bethel 1008: but 199 the name 8034 of that city 5892 [was called] Luz 3870 at the first 7223.(Bethel: that is, The house of God)

28:20 And Jacob 3290 vowed 5087 8799 a vow 5088, saying 559 8800, If God 430 will be with me, and will keep me 8104 8804 in this way 1870 that I go 1980 8802, and will give 5414 8804 me bread 3899 to eat 398 8800, and raiment 899 to put on 3847 8800,

28:21 So that I come again 7725 8804 to my father's 1 house 1004 in peace 7965; then shall the LORD 3068 be my God 430:

28:22 And this stone 68, which I have set 7760 8804 [for] a pillar 4676, shall be God's 430 house 1004: and of all that thou shalt give 5414 8799 me I will surely 6237 8763 give the tenth 6237 8762 unto thee.
