Genesis 28:6-15 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

6. And Esau seeth that Isaac hath blessed Jacob, and hath sent him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from thence a wife--in his blessing him that he layeth a charge upon him, saying, Thou dost not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan--

7. that Jacob hearkeneth unto his father and unto his mother, and goeth to Padan-Aram--

8. and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,

9. and Esau goeth unto Ishmael, and taketh Mahalath, daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, unto his wives, to himself, for a wife.

10. And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward Haran,

11. and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there, for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down in that place.

12. And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are going up and coming down by it;

13. and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I [am] Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed;

14. and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.

15. `And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely done that which I have spoken to thee.'
