01:027:044 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn
away;
01:027:045 Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget
that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from
thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
01:027:046 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of
the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth,
such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall
my life do me?
01:028:001 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.
01:028:002 Arise, go to Padanaram, 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.
01:028:003 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and
multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
01:028:004 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.
01:028:005 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.
01:028:006 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 daughters of Canaan;
01:028:007 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was
gone to Padanaram;
01:028:008 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not
Isaac his father;
01:028:009 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.
01:028:010 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
01:028:011 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.
01:028:012 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 God ascending
and descending on it.
01:028:013 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;
01:028:014 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.
01:028:015 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.
