Chapter 28
Gene RNKJV 28:1  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.
Gene RNKJV 28:2  Arise, go to Padan-aram, 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.
Gene RNKJV 28:3  And El-Shaddai bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
Gene RNKJV 28:4  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 Elohim gave unto Abraham.
Gene RNKJV 28:5  And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Gene RNKJV 28:6  When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, 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;
Gene RNKJV 28:7  And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
Gene RNKJV 28:8  And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
Gene RNKJV 28:9  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.
Gene RNKJV 28:10  And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
Gene RNKJV 28:11  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.
Gene RNKJV 28:12  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 Elohim ascending and descending on it.
Gene RNKJV 28:13  And, behold, יהוה stood above it, and said, I am יהוה Elohim of Abraham thy father, and the Elohim of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
Gene RNKJV 28:14  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.
Gene RNKJV 28:15  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.
Gene RNKJV 28:16  And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely יהוה is in this place; and I knew it not.
Gene RNKJV 28:17  And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of Elohim, and this is the gate of heaven.
Gene RNKJV 28:18  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.
Gene RNKJV 28:19  And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
Gene RNKJV 28:20  And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If Elohim 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,
Gene RNKJV 28:21  So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall יהוה be my Elohim:
Gene RNKJV 28:22  And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be Elohim's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
