10雅各离开别示巴,前往哈兰。11到了一个地方,太阳已经下山,他便在那里过夜。他枕着一块石头睡觉,12梦中看见有个梯子立在地上,直通到天上,梯子上有上帝的天使上上下下。13耶和华站在梯子上*对雅各说:“我是耶和华,是你祖父亚伯拉罕的上帝,也是以撒的上帝。我要把你现在躺卧的地方赐给你和你的后代。14你的后代必多如地上的尘沙,遍布四方,地上万族必因你和你的后代而蒙福。15我与你同在,无论你去哪里,我都会保护你,领你返回这片土地。我必实现对你的应许,决不离弃你。”16雅各一觉醒来,说:“耶和华居然在这里,我却不知道。”17他就害怕起来,说:“这地方何等可畏!这里是上帝的家,是通天的大门。”18雅各清早起来,把枕的那块石头立成柱子作记号,在上面浇上油。19他称那地方为伯特利*,那地方以前叫路斯。20雅各许愿说:“如果上帝与我同在,在路上保护我,供给我衣食,21带领我平安地回到父亲的家,我就一定敬奉耶和华为我的上帝。22我立为柱子的这块石头必成为上帝的殿。凡你赐给我的,我必把十分之一献给你。”

Jacob Sent to Laban
1Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.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.3God Almighty* bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples.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!”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,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.
Jacob’s Dream
10Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.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* 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!13And behold, the Lord stood above it* 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.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.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.”16Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”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.19He called the name of that place Bethel,* but the name of the city was Luz at the first.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,21so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God,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.”
