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.
01:028:016 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the
LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
01:028:017 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this
is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
01:028:018 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone
that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured
oil upon the top of it.
01:028:019 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of
that city was called Luz at the first.
01:028:020 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God 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,
01:028:021 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then
shall the LORD be my God:
01:028:022 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's
house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth
unto thee.
01:029:001 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the
people of the east.
01:029:002 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there
were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they
watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
01:029:003 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the
stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone
again upon the well's mouth in his place.
01:029:004 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they
said, Of Haran are we.
