CHAP. XXVIII.

1 Izhak 〈◊〉〈◊〉 biddeth Iaakob to take a wise of the Canaani∣tes. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Esau taketh a wife of the daughters of Ishmael a∣gainst 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 wil 12 Iaakoh in the way to Harā seeth a 〈◊〉〈◊〉: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to heauen. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Christ is promised. 20 Iaakob asketh of God onely meat and clothing.

1 THen Izhak called laakob anda 1.1 blessed hym, and charged hym; and sayd vnto hym, Take not a wyfe of the daughters of Canáan.

2 Arise, * get thee to * Padán Arám to the hou* 1.2 se or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thy mothers father, and thence* 1.3 take thee a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the daughters of 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.4 thy mothers brother.

3 And God al 〈◊〉〈◊〉 blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou maiest be a multitude of people.

4 And gyue thee the blessynge of Abraham, (euen) to thee and to thy sede wyth thee, that thou maiest inherite the land [wherein thou 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ab 1.5 stranger] whiche God gaue vnto Abraham.

5 Thus Izhak sent forthe Iaakôb, and he went to Padan Arám vnto Labán sonne of Bethuél the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Eiaus mothers.

6 ¶ When Esáu sawe that Izhák had blessed 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and sent him to Padán Arám, to fet hym a wife thence, and giuen hym a charge when he blessed him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canáan.

7 And (that) Iaakôb had obeied his father and his mother and was gone to Padán Aram:

8 Also Esáu seyng that the daughters of Ca∣náan displeased Izhak his father.

9 Then went Esau to Ishmaél, and toke“ 1.6 vnto the wiues, (whiche he had,) Mahaláth the daughter ofc 1.7 Ishmaél Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaióth, to be his wife.

10 ¶ Now Iaakób departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Harán.

11 And he came vnto a (certeine) place, and ta∣ried there all nyght, because the sonne was downe, and toke of the stones of the place and layed vnder hys heade and slepte in the same place.

12 Then he dreamed, and be holde, there stode ad 1.8 ladder vppon the earth and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and lo, the Aungels of God went vp and downe by it.* 1.9

13 * And beholde, the Lorde stode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lorde God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon thee whiche thou slepest,e 1.10 will] giue thee and thy sede.

14 And thy sede shal be as the dust of the earth,

and thou shalt spreade abrode* to the West,* 1.11 and to the East, and to the North, and to the South, and in thee and in thy sede shall al the* 1.12 * families of the earth be blessed.

15 And lo, I am with thee, and will kepe thee whither soeuer thou goest, ād wil bring thee againe into this land: for I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 will not forsake thee vntil I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee.

16 ¶ Then Iaakôb awoke out of his slepe, and said, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.

17 And he wasf 1.13 afraid and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.

18 Then Iaakôb rose vp early in the mornyng and toke the stone that he had laied vnder his head, andg 1.14 set it vp (as) a piller, & powred oyle vpon the top of it,

19 And he called the name of that place“ 1.15 Be∣th-él: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.

20 Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying; Ifh 1.16 God wil be with me, and wil kepe me in this iourney which I go, and will giue me bread to eat, and clothes to put on:

21 So that I come again vnto my fathers house in safety, then shal the Lord be my God.

22 And this stone, with I haue set vp (as) a piller shalbe Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
