Gen 28:2 Arise [06965] (8798), go [03212] (8798) to Padanaram [06307], to the house [01004] of Bethuel [01328] thy mother's [0517] father [01]; and take [03947] (8798) thee a wife [0802] from thence of the daughters [01323] of Laban [03837] thy mother's [0517] brother [0251].
Gen 28:3 And God [0410] Almighty [07706] bless [01288] (8762) thee, and make thee fruitful [06509] (8686), and multiply [07235] (8686) thee, that thou mayest be a multitude [06951] of people [05971];
Gen 28:4 And give [05414] (8799) thee the blessing [01293] of Abraham [085], to thee, and to thy seed [02233] with thee; that thou mayest inherit [03423] (8800) the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], which God [0430] gave [05414] (8804) unto Abraham [085].
Gen 28:5 And Isaac [03327] sent away [07971] (8799) Jacob [03290]: and he went [03212] (8799) to Padanaram [06307] unto Laban [03837], son [01121] of Bethuel [01328] the Syrian [0761], the brother [0251] of Rebekah [07259], Jacob's [03290] and Esau's [06215] mother [0517].
Gen 28:6 When Esau [06215] saw [07200] (8799) that Isaac [03327] had blessed [01288] (8765) Jacob [03290], and sent him away [07971] (8765) to Padanaram [06307], to take [03947] (8800) him a wife [0802] from thence; and that as he blessed [01288] (8763) him he gave him a charge [06680] (8762), saying [0559] (8800), Thou shalt not take [03947] (8799) a wife [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Canaan [03667];
Gen 28:7 And that Jacob [03290] obeyed [08085] (8799) his father [01] and his mother [0517], and was gone [03212] (8799) to Padanaram [06307];
Gen 28:8 And Esau [06215] seeing [07200] (8799) that the daughters [01323] of Canaan [03667] pleased [05869] not [07451] Isaac [03327] his father [01];
Gen 28:9 Then went [03212] (8799) Esau [06215] unto Ishmael [03458], and took [03947] (8799) unto the wives [0802] which he had Mahalath [04258] the daughter [01323] of Ishmael [03458] Abraham's [085] son [01121], the sister [0269] of Nebajoth [05032], to be his wife [0802].
Gen 28:10 And Jacob [03290] went out [03318] (8799) from Beersheba [0884], and went [03212] (8799) toward Haran [02771].
Gen 28:11 And he lighted [06293] (8799) upon a certain place [04725], and tarried there all night [03885] (8799), because the sun [08121] was set [0935] (8804); and he took [03947] (8799) of the stones [068] of that place [04725], and put [07760] (8799) [them for] his pillows [04763], and lay down [07901] [00] in that place [04725] to sleep [07901] (8799).
Gen 28:12 And he dreamed [02492] (8799), and behold a ladder [05551] set up [05324] (8716) on the earth [0776], and the top of it [07218] reached [05060] (8688) to heaven [08064]: and behold the angels [04397] of God [0430] ascending [05927] (8802) and descending [03381] (8802) on it.
Gen 28:13 And, behold, the LORD [03068] stood [05324] (8737) above it, and said [0559] (8799), I [am] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085] thy father [01], and the God [0430] of Isaac [03327]: the land [0776] whereon thou liest [07901] (8802), to thee will I give it [05414] (8799), and to thy seed [02233];
Gen 28:14 And thy seed [02233] shall be as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], and thou shalt spread abroad [06555] (8804) to the west [03220], and to the east [06924], and to the north [06828], and to the south [05045]: and in thee and in thy seed [02233] shall all the families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288] (8738).
Gen 28:15 And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep [08104] (8804) thee in all [places] whither [0834] thou goest [03212] (8799), and will bring thee again [07725] (8689) into this land [0127]; for I will not leave [05800] (8799) thee, until [0834] I have done [06213] (8804) that which I have spoken [01696] (8765) to thee of.
Gen 28:16 And Jacob [03290] awaked [03364] (8799) out of his sleep [08142], and he said [0559] (8799), Surely [0403] the LORD [03068] is [03426] in this place [04725]; and I knew [03045] (8804) [it] not.
Gen 28:17 And he was afraid [03372] (8799), and said [0559] (8799), How dreadful [03372] (8737) is this place [04725]! this is none other but the house [01004] of God [0430], and this is the gate [08179] of heaven [08064].
Gen 28:18 And Jacob [03290] rose up early [07925] (8686) in the morning [01242], and took [03947] (8799) the stone [068] that he had put [07760] (8804) [for] his pillows [04763], and set it up [07760] (8799) [for] a pillar [04676], and poured [03332] (8799) oil [08081] upon the top of it [07218].
Gen 28:19 And he called [07121] (8799) the name [08034] of that place [04725] Bethel [01008]: but [0199] the name [08034] of that city [05892] [was called] Luz [03870] at the first [07223].
Gen 28:20 And Jacob [03290] vowed [05087] (8799) a vow [05088], saying [0559] (8800), If God [0430] will be with me, and will keep me [08104] (8804) in this way [01870] that I go [01980] (8802), and will give [05414] (8804) me bread [03899] to eat [0398] (8800), and raiment [0899] to put on [03847] (8800),
Gen 28:21 So that I come again [07725] (8804) to my father's [01] house [01004] in peace [07965]; then shall the LORD [03068] be my God [0430]:
Gen 28:22 And this stone [068], which I have set [07760] (8804) [for] a pillar [04676], shall be God's [0430] house [01004]: and of all that thou shalt give [05414] (8799) me I will surely [06237] (8763) give the tenth [06237] (8762) unto thee.
