28:1

And Isaac
<03327>

called
<07121> (8799)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

him, and charged
<06680> (8762)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

of the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

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>_.

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>_;

{a multitude...: Heb. an assembly of people}

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>_.

{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}

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>_.

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>_;

28:7

And that Jacob
<03290>

obeyed
<08085> (8799)

his father
<01>

and his mother
<0517>_,

and was gone
<03212> (8799)

to Padanaram
<06307>_;

28:8

And Esau
<06215>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

that the daughters
<01323>

of Canaan
<03667>

pleased
<05869>

not
<07451>

Isaac
<03327>

his father
<01>_;

{pleased...: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}

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>_.

{Mahalath: or, Bashemath}

28:10

And Jacob
<03290>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from Beersheba
<0884>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

toward Haran
<02771>_.

{Haran: Gr. Charran}

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> (0)

in that place
<04725>

to sleep
<07901> (8799)_.

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.

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>_;

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)_.

{spread...: Heb. break forth}

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.

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.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

{Bethel: that is, The house of God}

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)_,

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>_:

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.

Genesis 6:17-18

6:17

And, behold
<02009>_,

I
<0589>_,

even I, do bring
<0935> (8688)

a flood
<03999>

of waters
<04325>

upon the earth
<0776>_,

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

all flesh
<01320>_,

wherein [is] the breath
<07307>

of life
<02416>_,

from under
<08478>

heaven
<08064>_;

[and] every thing
<03605>

that [is] in the earth
<0776>

shall die
<01478> (8799)_.

6:18

But with thee will I establish
<06965> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>_;

and thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)

into
<0413>

the ark
<08392>_,

thou
<0859>_,

and thy sons
<01121>_,

and thy wife
<0802>_,

and thy sons
<01121>_'

wives
<0802>

with thee.
