Genesis 28:1--29:35

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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_;
And that Jacob
<03290>
obeyed
<08085> (8799)
his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>_,
and was gone
<03212> (8799)
to Padanaram
<06307>_;
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}
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}
And Jacob
<03290>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from Beersheba
<0884>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
toward Haran
<02771>_.
{Haran: Gr. Charran}
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)_.
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.
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>_;
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}
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.
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.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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)_,
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>_:
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.
Then Jacob
<03290>
went on
<05375> (8799)
his journey
<07272>_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of the people
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a well
<0875>
in the field
<07704>_,
and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>
flocks
<05739>
of sheep
<06629>
lying
<07257> (8802)
by it; for out of that well
<0875>
they watered
<08248> (8686)
the flocks
<05739>_:
and a great
<01419>
stone
<068>
[was] upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_.
And thither were all the flocks
<05739>
gathered
<0622> (8738)_:
and they rolled
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_,
and put
<07725> (0)
the stone
<068>
again
<07725> (8689)
upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>
in his place
<04725>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,
whence
<0370>
[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Of Haran
<02771>
[are] we.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)
ye Laban
<03837>
the son
<01121>
of Nahor
<05152>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We know
<03045> (8804)
[him].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] well
<07965>_:
and, behold, Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
with the sheep
<06629>_.
{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo
<02005>_,
[it is] yet high
<01419>
day
<03117>_,
neither [is it] time
<06256>
that the cattle
<04735>
should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:
water
<08248> (8685)
ye the sheep
<06629>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
[and] feed
<07462> (8798)
[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,
until all the flocks
<05739>
be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,
and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_;
then we water
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_.
And while he yet
<05750>
spake
<01696> (8764)
with them, Rachel
<07354>
came
<0935> (8804)
with her father's
<01>
sheep
<06629>_:
for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.
And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8804)
Rachel
<07354>
the daughter
<01323>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
and the sheep
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
went near
<05066> (8799)_,
and rolled
<01556> (8686)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8686)
the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
kissed
<05401> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
told
<05046> (8686)
Rachel
<07354>
that he [was] her father's
<01>
brother
<0251>_,
and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>
son
<01121>_:
and she ran
<07323> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
her father
<01>_.
And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the tidings
<08088>
of Jacob
<03290>
his sister's
<0269>
son
<01121>_,
that he ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)
him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to his house
<01004>_.
And he told
<05608> (8762)
Laban
<03837>
all these things
<01697>_.
{tidings: Heb. hearing}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Surely
<0389>
thou [art] my bone
<06106>
and my flesh
<01320>_.
And he abode
<03427> (8799)
with him the space
<03117>
of a month
<02320>_.
{the space...: Heb. a month of days}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,
shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)
me for nought
<02600>_?
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>
[be]?
And Laban
<03837>
had two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_:
the name
<08034>
of the elder
<01419>
[was] Leah
<03812>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the younger
<06996>
[was] Rachel
<07354>_.
Leah
<03812>
[was] tender
<07390>
eyed
<05869>_;
but Rachel
<07354>
was beautiful
<03303> <08389>
and well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>
thy younger
<06996>
daughter
<01323>_.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] better
<02896>
that I give
<05414> (8800)
her to thee, than that I should give
<05414> (8800)
her to another
<0312>
man
<0376>_:
abide
<03427> (8798)
with me.
And Jacob
<03290>
served
<05647> (8799)
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>_;
and they seemed
<05869>
unto him [but] a few
<0259>
days
<03117>_,
for the love he had
<0160>
to her.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
[me] my wife
<0802>_,
for my days
<03117>
are fulfilled
<04390> (8804)_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Laban
<03837>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
a feast
<04960>_.
And it came to pass in the evening
<06153>_,
that he took
<03947> (8799)
Leah
<03812>
his daughter
<01323>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
her to him; and he went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
unto his daughter
<01323>
Leah
<03812>
Zilpah
<02153>
his maid
<08198>
[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.
And it came to pass, that in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, it [was] Leah
<03812>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto me? did not I serve
<05647> (8804)
with thee for Rachel
<07354>_?
wherefore then hast thou beguiled
<07411> (8765)
me?
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
It must not be so done
<06213> (8735)
in our country
<04725>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
the younger
<06810>
before
<06440>
the firstborn
<01067>_.
{country: Heb. place}
Fulfil
<04390> (8761)
her
<02063>
week
<07620>_,
and we will give
<05414> (8799)
thee this also for the service
<05656>
which thou shalt serve
<05647> (8799)
with me yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
did
<06213> (8799)
so, and fulfilled
<04390> (8762)
her week
<07620>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>
also.
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
to Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
Bilhah
<01090>
his handmaid
<08198>
to be her maid
<08198>_.
And he went in
<0935> (8799)
also unto Rachel
<07354>_,
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
also Rachel
<07354>
more than Leah
<03812>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
with him yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
And when the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Leah
<03812>
[was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_:
but Rachel
<07354>
[was] barren
<06135>_.
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Reuben
<07205>_:
for
<03588>
she said
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely
<03588>
the LORD
<03068>
hath looked
<07200> (8804)
upon my affliction
<06040>_;
now therefore
<03588>
my husband
<0376>
will love
<0157> (8799)
me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
that I [was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he hath therefore given
<05414> (8799)
me this [son] also: and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Simeon
<08095>_.
{Simeon: that is, Hearing}
And she conceived again
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now this time
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
be joined
<03867> (8735)
unto me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him three
<07969>
sons
<01121>_:
therefore was his name
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Levi
<03878>_.
{Levi: that is, Joined}
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now
<06471>
will I praise
<03034> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>_:
therefore she called
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Judah
<03063>_;
and left
<05975> (8799)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_.
{Judah: that is, Praise} {left...: Heb. stood from bearing}
