1 Tad īzāks aicināja Jēkabu, un svētīja to, un pavēlēja tam, un sacīja: „Tev nebūs sievu ņemt no kānaānietēm.
2 Celies, ej uz Mezopotamiju, uz sava mātes tēva Betuēla namu un paņem sev no tās vietas sievu no tava mātes brāļa Lābana meitām.
3 Visuvarenais Dievs lai svētī tevi, ka tu augļojies un vairojies, un lai dara tevi par lielu tautu kopu,
4 Un lai Viņš tev un taviem pēcnācējiem dod Ābrahāma svētību, ka tu iemanto sev to zemi, kufā tu mīti kā svešinieks, kujru Dievs ir devis Ābrahāmam.“
5 Tā īzāks atlaida Jēkabu, un tas devās uz Mezopotamiju pie sava un Ēzava mātes brāļa, aramieša Lābana, Betuēla dēla.
6 Un Ēzavs redzēja, ka īzāks Jēkabu bija svētījis un to bija aizsūtījis uz Mezopotamiju, lai ņemtu sev no tās vietas sievu, un ka viņš, to svētījot, bija tam pavēlējis, sacīdams: „Tev nebūs sievu ņemt no Kānaāna meitām,
7 Un ka Jēkabs bija uzklausījis savu tēvu un savu māti un aizgājis uz Mezopotamiju.
8 Un Ēzavs arī redzēja, ka viņa tēvam īzākam Kānaāna meitas nebija pa prātam.
9 Tad Ēzavs devās pie Ismaēla un paņēma sev klāt par sievu pie savām sievām Ismaēla, Ābrahāma dēla, meitu Machalatu, kas bija māsa Nebojotam.
10 Bet Jēkabs atstāja Bēršebu un devās uz Chāranu.
11 Un tam gadījās nonākt kādā vietā un palikt tur pa nakti, jo saule bija norietējusi. Un viņš paņēma vienu no akmeņiem, kādi tur tanī vietā bija, un lika to sev pagalvī, un apgūlās tanī vietā.
12 Un viņam bija sapnis: Lūk, uz zemes bija kāpnes uzslietas, bet to augšgals sniedzās debesīs, un lūk, Dieva eņģeļi kāpa pa tām augšup un lejup.
13 Un redzi, tas Kungs stāvēja augšgalā un sacīja: „Es esmu Ābrahāma, tava tēva, Dievs un īzāka Dievs! To zemi, uz kuras tu guli, Es došu tev un taviem pēcnācējiem.
14 Un tavi pēcnācēji būs kā zemes smiltis, un tu izpletīsies uz rietumiem un uz austrumiem, ziemeļiem un dienvidiem, un tevī un tavos pēcnācējos visas zemes tautas būs svētītas.
15 Es, lūk, esmu ar tevi, un Es tevi pasargāšu it visur, kur tu eji, un Es likšu tev atgriezties šinī zemē, jo Es tevi neatstāšu, līdz būšu piepildījis visus solījumus, kādus Es esmu devis.“
16 Un Jēkabs uzmodās no sava miega un sacīja: „Tiešām tas Kungs ir šinī vietā, bet es to nezināju.“
17 Un viņam metās bail, un tas sacīja: „Cik bijājama ir šī vieta, te tiešām ir Dieva nams, un še ir debesu vārti.“
18 Un Jēkabs pamodās no rīta un ņēma akmeni, kādu savā pagalvī bija nolicis, un uzcēla piemiņas zīmi un svaidīja to ar eļļu.
19 Un viņš nosauca šīs vietas vārdu Bētele, bet iepriekš pilsētu sauca Lūza.
20 Un Jēkabs deva svinīgu solījumu, sacīdams: „Ja Dievs Kungs būs ar mani un pasargās mani šinī ceļā, kādu es tagad eju, un man dos maizi, ko ēst, drēbes, ar ko ģērbties,
21 Un man sveikam liks atgriezties savā tēva namā, tad Viņš man būs par Dievu.
22 Bet šis akmens, kādu es esmu nolicis par piemiņas zīmi, lai ir par Dieva namu, un no visa, ko Dievs man dos, es desmito tiesu došu Viņam.“
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother. 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 4 And 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. 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
6 ¶ When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, 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; 7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram; 8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10 ¶ And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. 11 And 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. 12 And 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. 13 And, 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; 14 And 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. 15 And, 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.
16 ¶ And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17 And 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. 18 And 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. 19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 20 And 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, 21 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
