Jacob
Is Sent Away |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 28:1
|
|
So Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged
him, and said to him, "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:2
|
|
"Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel
your mother's father; and from there take to yourself a wife from the daughters
of Laban your mother's brother. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:3
|
|
"May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful
and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:4
|
|
"May He also give you the blessing of Abraham,
to you and to your descendants with you, that you may possess the land of your
sojournings, which God gave to Abraham." |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:5
|
|
Then Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-aram
to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob
and Esau. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:6
|
|
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and
sent him away to Paddan-aram to take to himself a wife from there, and that when
he blessed him he charged him, saying, "You shall not take a wife from the daughters
of Canaan," |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:7
|
|
and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his
mother and had gone to Paddan-aram. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:8
|
|
So Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan displeased
his father Isaac; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:9
|
|
and Esau went to Ishmael, and married, besides
the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister
of Nebaioth. |

|

| |
|
Jacob's
Dream |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:10
|
|
Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went
toward Haran. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:11
|
|
He came to a certain place and spent the night
there, because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and
put it under his head, and lay down in that place. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:12
|
|
He had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set
on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were
ascending and descending on it. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:13
|
|
And behold, the LORD stood above it and said,
"I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land
on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:14
|
|
"Your descendants will also be like the dust
of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east and to the north
and to the south; and in you and in your descendants shall all the families of
the earth be blessed. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:15
|
|
"Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever
you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I
have done what I have promised you." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:16
|
|
Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely
the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:17
|
|
He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this
place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:18
|
|
So Jacob rose early in the morning, and took
the stone that he had put under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured
oil on its top. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:19
|
|
He called the name of that place Bethel; however,
previously the name of the city had been Luz. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:20
|
|
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will
be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take, and will give me food
to eat and garments to wear, |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 28:21
|
|
and I return to my father's house in safety,
then the LORD will be my God. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 28:22
|
|
"This stone, which I have set up as a pillar,
will be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to
You." |
