1Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women. (Ge 27:46; Ge 28:6)2Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father, and take as your wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother. (Ge 22:23; Ho 12:12)3God Almighty[1] bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. (Ge 17:1)4May he give the blessing of Abraham to you and to your offspring with you, that you may take possession of the land of your sojournings that God gave to Abraham!” (Ge 12:2; Ge 17:8; Ge 36:7; Ge 37:1)5Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Esau Marries an Ishmaelite
6Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women,”7and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and gone to Paddan-aram.8So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father, (Ge 24:3; Ge 26:35)9Esau went to Ishmael and took as his wife, besides the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth. (Ge 25:13; Ge 36:3)
Jacob’s Dream
10Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. (Ge 21:31; Ge 26:33; Ac 7:2)11And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.12And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder[2] set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! (Nu 12:6; Job 33:15; Joh 1:51)13And behold, the Lord stood above it[3] and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. (Ge 13:14; Ge 26:24; Ge 35:1; Ge 35:12; Ge 48:3)14Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. (Ge 12:3; Ge 13:16)15Behold, 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.” (Ge 26:24; Ge 31:3; Ge 35:6; 1Ki 8:57)16Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” (Ex 3:5; Jos 5:15)17And 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.”18So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. (Ge 31:13; Ge 31:45; Ge 35:14; Le 8:10; Nu 7:1; 1Sa 7:12; 2Sa 18:18)19He called the name of that place Bethel,[4] but the name of the city was Luz at the first. (Ge 35:7; Jud 1:23; Jud 1:26)20Then Jacob made 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 clothing to wear, (Ge 31:13)21so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, (De 26:17; Jud 11:31; 2Sa 15:7)22and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.” (Ge 14:20; Ge 35:7; Ge 35:14; Le 27:30)
Genesis 28
New International Version
from Biblica1So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: ‘Do not marry a Canaanite woman.2Go at once to Paddan Aram,[1] to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.3May God Almighty[2] bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.4May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.’5Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.6Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, ‘Do not marry a Canaanite woman,’7and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram.8Esau then realised how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac;9so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.
Jacob’s dream at Bethel
10Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.11When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.12He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.13There above it[3] stood the Lord, and he said: ‘I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying.14Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.[4]15I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’16When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.’17He was afraid and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.’18Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.19He called that place Bethel,[5] though the city used to be called Luz.20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, ‘If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear21so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord[6] will be my God22and[7] this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.’

New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him, ‘Don’t get married to a Canaanite woman.2Go at once to Paddan Aram. Go to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel. Find a wife for yourself there. Take her from among the daughters of your mother’s brother Laban.3May the Mighty God bless you. May he give you children. May he make your family larger until you become a community of nations.4May he give you and your children after you the blessing he gave to Abraham. Then you can take over the land where you now live as an outsider. It’s the land God gave to Abraham.’5Isaac sent Jacob on his way. Jacob went to Paddan Aram. He went to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean. Laban was Rebekah’s brother. And Rebekah was the mother of Jacob and Esau.6Esau found out that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram. Isaac wanted him to get a wife from there. Esau heard that when Isaac blessed Jacob, he commanded him, ‘Don’t get married to a woman from Canaan.’7Esau also learned that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram.8Then Esau realised how much his father Isaac disliked Canaanite women.9So he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath. She was the sister of Nebaioth and the daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael. Esau added her to the wives he already had.
Jacob has a dream at Bethel
10Jacob left Beersheba and started out for Harran.11He reached a certain place and stopped for the night. The sun had already set. He took one of the stones there and placed it under his head. Then he lay down to sleep.12In a dream he saw a stairway standing on the earth. Its top reached to heaven. The angels of God were going up and coming down on it.13The LORD stood beside the stairway. He said, ‘I am the LORD. I am the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your children after you the land you are lying on.14They will be like the dust of the earth that can’t be counted. They will spread out to the west and to the east. They will spread out to the north and to the south. All nations on earth will be blessed because of you and your children after you.15I am with you. I will watch over you everywhere you go. And I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’16Jacob woke up from his sleep. Then he thought, ‘The LORD is surely in this place. And I didn’t even know it.’17Jacob was afraid. He said, ‘How holy this place is! This must be the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.’18Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head. He set it up as a sacred stone. And he poured olive oil on top of it.19He named that place Bethel. But the city used to be called Luz.20Then Jacob made a promise. He said, ‘May God be with me. May he watch over me on this journey I’m taking. May he give me food to eat and clothes to wear.21May he do as he has promised so that I can return safely to my father’s home. Then you, LORD, will be my God.22This stone I’ve set up as a sacred stone will be God’s house. And I’ll give you a tenth of everything you give me.’
Genesis 28
King James Version
1And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.2Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother' father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother' brother.3And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;4And 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 God gave unto Abraham.5And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob' and Esau' mother.6When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, 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;7And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;8And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;9Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham' son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.10And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.11And 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.12And 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.13And, 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;14And 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.15And, 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.16And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.17And 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.18And 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.19And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.20And 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,21So that I come again to my father' house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:22And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God' house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Genesis 28
Einheitsübersetzung 2016
from Katholisches Bibelwerk1Isaak rief Jakob, segnete ihn und befahl ihm: Nimm keine Kanaaniterin zur Frau!2Mach dich auf, geh nach Paddan-Aram, zum Haus Betuëls, des Vaters deiner Mutter! Hol dir von dort eine Frau, eine von den Töchtern Labans, des Bruders deiner Mutter!3El-Schaddai wird dich segnen, er wird dich fruchtbar machen und vermehren: Zu einer Schar von Völkern wirst du werden. (Ge 17:6)4Er wird dir den Segen Abrahams geben, dir und deinen Nachkommen bei dir, damit du das Land in Besitz nimmst, in dem du als Fremder lebst, das aber Gott Abraham gegeben hat.5Isaak entließ Jakob und er zog nach Paddan-Aram zu Laban, dem Sohn des Aramäers Betuël, dem Bruder Rebekkas, der Mutter Jakobs und Esaus.6Esau sah, dass Isaak Jakob segnete und nach Paddan-Aram schickte, damit er sich von dort eine Frau holt. Als er ihn segnete, gebot er ihm: Du sollst dir keine Kanaaniterin zur Frau nehmen!7Jakob hörte auf seinen Vater und seine Mutter und ging nach Paddan-Aram.8Als Esau sah, dass die Kanaaniterinnen seinem Vater Isaak nicht gefielen,9ging Esau zu Ismael und nahm zu seinen Frauen noch Mahalat als Frau hinzu, die Schwester Nebajots, die Tochter Ismaels, des Sohnes Abrahams.
Jakob in Bet-El
10Jakob zog aus Beerscheba weg und ging nach Haran.11Er kam an einen bestimmten Ort und übernachtete dort, denn die Sonne war untergegangen. Er nahm einen von den Steinen dieses Ortes, legte ihn unter seinen Kopf und schlief dort ein.12Da hatte er einen Traum: Siehe, eine Treppe stand auf der Erde, ihre Spitze reichte bis zum Himmel. Und siehe: Auf ihr stiegen Engel Gottes auf und nieder.13Und siehe, der HERR stand vor ihm und sprach: Ich bin der HERR, der Gott deines Vaters Abraham und der Gott Isaaks. Das Land, auf dem du liegst, will ich dir und deinen Nachkommen geben.14Deine Nachkommen werden zahlreich sein wie der Staub auf der Erde. Du wirst dich nach Westen und Osten, nach Norden und Süden ausbreiten und durch dich und deine Nachkommen werden alle Sippen der Erde Segen erlangen. (Ge 12:3; Ge 13:16; Ge 18:18; Ge 22:18; Ge 26:4)15Siehe, ich bin mit dir, ich behüte dich, wohin du auch gehst, und bringe dich zurück in dieses Land. Denn ich verlasse dich nicht, bis ich vollbringe, was ich dir versprochen habe.16Jakob erwachte aus seinem Schlaf und sagte: Wirklich, der HERR ist an diesem Ort und ich wusste es nicht.17Er fürchtete sich und sagte: Wie Ehrfurcht gebietend ist doch dieser Ort! Er ist nichts anderes als das Haus Gottes und das Tor des Himmels.18Jakob stand früh am Morgen auf, nahm den Stein, den er unter seinen Kopf gelegt hatte, stellte ihn als Steinmal auf und goss Öl darauf.19Dann gab er dem Ort den Namen Bet-El - Haus Gottes -. Früher hieß die Stadt Lus.20Jakob machte das Gelübde: Wenn Gott mit mir ist und mich auf diesem Weg, den ich gehe, behütet, wenn er mir Brot zum Essen und Kleider zum Anziehen gibt,21wenn ich wohlbehalten heimkehre in das Haus meines Vaters, dann wird der HERR für mich Gott sein22und dieser Stein, den ich als Steinmal aufgestellt habe, soll ein Gotteshaus werden. Von allem, was du mir gibst, will ich dir gewiss den zehnten Teil geben.
