note
Iacob with his fathers ble&esset;ing, and admonition not to take a wife of Chanaan,
but of the daughters of his vncle Laban, goeth into Mesopotamia:
(6. Esau in the meane time marieth a third wife, his vncle Ismaels
daughter) 11. Iacob seeth in slepe a ladder reaching to heauen, Angels ascending
and descending, and our Lord leyning theron renewed the promises
made to Abraham and Isaac. 16. And he awayking maketh a vow.
1 Isaac therfore called Iacob, and blessed him, and commanded
him saying: Take not a wife of the stocke of
Chanaan:
2 but goe, and make a iourney into Mesopotamia
of Syria, to the house of Bathuel thy mothers father,
and take thee a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thin
vncle.
3 And God almightie blesse thee, and make thee

Isaac.
encrease, and multiplie thee: that thou maiest be into multitudes
of peoples.
4 And note geue he thee the blessings of Abraham,
and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayest possesse
the land of thy perigrination, which he promised to thy
grandfather.
5 And when Isaac had dismist him, taking
his iourney he came to Mesopotamia of Syria to Laban the
sonne of Bathuel the Syrian, brother to Rebecca his mother.
6 And Esau seing that his father had blessed Iacob, and
had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife
thence; and that after the blessing he had commanded him,
saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan:
7 and that Iacob obeying his parents was gone into
Syria:
8 hauing tryal also that his father did not willingly
see the daughters of Canaan:
9 he went to Ismael, and
tooke to wife besides them, which he had before, Maheleth
the daughter of Ismael Abrahams sonne, sister to Nabaioth.
10 Therfore Iacob being departed from Bersabee, went on
to Haran. note
11 And when he was come to a certaine place,
and would rest in it after sunne set, he09Q0071 tooke one of the
stones that lay there, and putting it vnder his head, slept in
the same place.
12 And he saw in his sleepe09Q0072 a ladder standing
vpon the earth, and the top therof tooching heauen: the
angels also of God ascending and descending by it,
13 and
our Lord leyning vpon the ladder saying to him: I am the
Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the
Land, wherin thou sleepest, I wil geue to thee and to thy
seed.
14 And thy seed shal be as the dust of the earth: thou
shalt be dilated to the West, and to the East, & to the North,
and to the South: and in thee and thy seed al the tribes
of the earth shal be blessed.
15 And I wil be thy
keeper whither so euer thou goest, and wil bring thee backe
into this land: neither wil I leaue thee, til I shal haue accomplished
al things which I haue said.
16 And when Iacob
was awaked out of sleepe, he said: In dede our Lord is in
this place, and I wist not.
17 And trembling he said: How
terrible is this place! this is none other but the house of God,
and the gate of heauen.
18 And Iacob arising in the morning,
tooke the stone, which he had laid vnder his head,
and09Q0073 erected it for a title, powring oyle vpon the toppe.
19 And he called the name of the citie note Bethel, which before
was called Luza.
20 And he09Q0074 vowed a vowe, saying: If God

shal be with me, and shal keepe me in the way, by the which
I walke, and shal geue me note bread to eate, and rayment to put
on,
21 and I shal be returned prosperously to my fathers
house, the Lord shal be my God,
22 and this stone, which
I haue erected for a title, shal be called the House of God:
and of al things that thou shalt geue to me, I wil offer tithes
to thee.
